| It just keeps getting worse. It now appears that the New York state Conservative Party will endorse Fred Thompson over favorite son Rudy Giuliani. Of course, the endorsement is dependent on Thompson "breaking through" in South Carolina, so the chances of such an endorsement are slim, to say the least. Still, this yet another humiliation for Rudy on his worst day ever.
NY Conservative Party To Endorse Thompson, Not Un-Conservative Rudy
In an interview to air this Sunday, state Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long tells WNBC's Gabe Pressman the party is likely to give an early nod to Fred Thompson if he manages to "break through" in South Carolina.
"As a Conservative, as the chairman of the New York state Conservative Party, my favorite candidate, naturally, is Fred Thompson," Long said. "He did very well this week in the debate. Certainly, I think in South Carolina. If he does well there, if he breaks through in South Carolina, he changes the face of this Republican race again.
He becomes an important player, then on to Florida and to the Southern states. And I think he has a shot at it. And then if he does that, I believe that us, meaning the New York state Conservative Party, will move forward and make an endorsement at an early stage to try to help him catapult the rest of the country."
Yeah, because the rest of the nation sits on pins and needles awaiting the choice of the New York Conservative Party. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure who looks worse or more irrelevant here.
Take your pick. |
