The linked blog seems to indicate that Fred will drop out and endorse Romney?
Seems like a premature and unsubstantiated claim, even if it is meant to be tongue and cheek. I'd be careful about introducing something like that into the rumor mill . . .
The headline on the MittandFred blog is just an attention getter -not real news. Perhaps it should be changed. The point is to gather support for the Mitt and Fred alliance. Spread the word. MittandFred.blogspot.com
As a Romney supporter I would love to have Thompson come over to our team, but as of yet, he hasn't mentioned he was getting out of the race. Also keep in mind that he and McCain are friends and he supported him in 2000. While our beliefs align, I have a hard time seeing Fred coming over and endorsing us - at best he stays out. I know that many of Fred's supporters in our state also like Romney and will probably come over when an announcement is made. Until then - Let's win Florida!
From my talk with my fellows I think if (and the is a BIG IF) Fred drops out many will likely go to Mitt, but a good potion like myself will sit it out or in the end become so scared of ‘Hitlery’ that they will vote for whomever is the Republican nominee (except Huck). Not much of a recommendation is it, people voting for you because they are so afraid of the other guy?
Mitt lost me when his team started the 'dirty tricks’ campaign against Fred. Now you are going to say that Mitt never approved or had knowledge of these acts (www.phoneyfred.org,push polling in Iowa)and maybe, just maybe Mitt never personally approved any of these acts, but just like a CEO or for that matter the President you are ultimately responsible for the actions of your subordinates. And denials followed by a ‘I am sorry, but more sorry we got caught apology’ just doesn’t cut it with me. Maybe I a bit of a ‘Mr. Smith’, but I was raised that your reputation is not only what you do, but also who you associate with. Fred has had some hard talk for Mitt, Huck, and the others, but I challenge anyone who can point to anything dishonest committed by him or any campaign supporter.
