Thompson to drop out and back McCain?

DES MOINES, Iowa – Several Republican officials close to Fred Thompson’s presidential campaign said they expect the candidate will drop out of the race within days if he finishes poorly in Thursday’s Iowa caucus.

4. Exactly!
What happened to the massive groundswell of support he was supposed to get?

2. What's funny is that Thompson's supporters didn't LIKE McCain, that's why
they wanted Thompson to run. Hahahahahaa!

3. FWIW, the Thompson camp denies it
Link to National Review; don't click if you want to avoid right-wing sites:

Thompson denial.
