McCain finally gets Fred Thompson’s endorsement

Posted By katie allison granju

Fred Thompson, the one-time Republican presidential candidate, endorsed Sen. John McCain Friday, calling on the party to “close ranks” behind the presumed nominee.

“This is no longer about past preferences or differences. It is about what is best for our country and for me that means that Republican should close ranks behind John McCain,” Thompson said in a statement reported by the Associated Press.

Thompson’s endorsement was expected. The two men were colleagues for years in the Senate and shared what associates called a friendship. But while he was in the race, Thompson had bristled at the idea that he was going to drop out and endorse McCain.

    Someone hit my blog today searching for "used car problems after 100k miles".Well, Anonymous Searcher, those problems can vary depending on the used car in question. For instance, an older diesel Mercedes Benz or American pickup truck rarely has much in the way of problems at 100k miles, unless you count "stinky exhaust" or "a tendency to spontaneously sprout rebel ...

    Keith Olbermann (and Chris Matthews) will not be anchoring coverage of the coming debates or election night. Their egos are causing a problem. During the DNC, on the first night Olbermann jumped on Joe Scarborough then the next night he apparently thought Matthews talked too much. Does anyone talk more than Olbermann? I don't think so. He primarily wants to ... [Link]

    And oh yes, I do love it that Palin's nomination is enough of a threat that it's caused Obama to drop the righteous act.

He's throwing his own punches now ... [Link]
