Thompson isn’t quite ready to jump ship, but I think we’ll be seeing it happen in few weeks.
Former Gov. James R. Thompson refused to endorse Republican U.S. Senate nominee Alan Keyes on Wednesday, saying some of Keyes’ stands on the issues made him “uncomfortable.”
“I’d be inclined to vote Republican,” Thompson said. “His views are very conservative. Some of his positions would make me uncomfortable as a voter. I’m willing to give him a chance to tell the people of Illinois what his views are. I have not endorsed him.”
I personally don’t care much about the carpetbagging, though I find it funny Keyes’ view of it. My view is voters can sort that out.
