Missouri's Lieutenant Governor has endorsed former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson for President, as well as State Sen. Carl Bearden.
Johncombestblog.com has Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder's letter of endorsement.
It raises the question of whether a genuine "Draft Thompson" campaign is underway, or if the decision has already been made and these endorsements are just meant to ramp up excitement. Hotline On Call speculates.
I've been trying to watch more Law & Order but I still don't get why Thompson is the charismatic conservative savior of the right? And is dissatisfaction with the other candidates a good enough reason for his candidacy? He used to be a McCain guy afterall.
Meanwhile, Tony Messenger over at the Springfield News-Leader delivers the scoop that Rudy Giuliani is coming to town on Saturday for a breakfast fundraiser at the Tower Club. Messenger notes the fundraiser is for Blunt, not Giuliani. File this under "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm . . ."
Later that day, Giuliani is scheduled to be in Iowa, attending the Republican Party's Unity Dinner in Des Moines.
Meanwhile, the latest primary poll comes from South Carolina, conducted by FoxNews/Opinion Dynamics.
S.C. REPUBLICANS
Rudy Giuliani 26%
John McCain 25%
Mitt Romney 14%
Mike Huckabee 2%
