More Fred news

It was good to see the pros agreeing with me, but the voters didn't:

Former Tancredo Chairman Backs Fred Thompson

Tom Tancredo threw his support to fellow Republican Mitt Romney when he dropped out of the presidential race on Dec. 20, but his Iowa state chairman, Bill Salier, has parted ways with his former boss and endorsed Fred Thompson instead.
“I am honored to endorse Sen. Fred Thompson for president,” Salier, who ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate from Iowa in 2002, said in a statement.
“Sen. Thompson has been a consistently strong advocate in securing our borders and enforcing the rule of law. He has the leadership and experience we need guiding this nation and serving the people of Iowa.”
Curiously, Colorado Rep. Tancredo — who based his White House campaign on fighting illegal immigration — also cited that issue in announcing his support for Romney.
Addressing Salier’s endorsement, Thompson called him a “true conservative leader in Iowa who understands the increasing challenges facing this nation,” the Globe Gazette in Iowa reported.
“We share the same conservative principles, and I look forward to working with him as we spread our message of consistent conservatism to the great people of Iowa.”
Tancredo’s former western Iowa director, Angie Anderson, has also announced that she is joining the Thompson campaign.
