Journal SPAM: Kicking McCain while he's down 2

Apparently, Rudy announced that his preferred candidate is John McCain, assuming of course that Rudy wasn't running and further assuming McCain's not getting the shit kicked out of him already.

So it's a either a big fuck you, or Rudy wants McCain to drop out earlier rather than later so he can help him fight off the actor who hasn't even declared yet.

Now that I think about it, Thompson pretty much has to run now. Imagine this scenario: It's mid-September. McCain is either out or close enough not to make a difference, and Thompson decides not to run because he just can't make the numbers add up right.

All of a sudden, all you're left with is Rudy and Mitt jerking each other off and Ron Paul being all intense in the background. The GOP primary basically withers on the vine, as it were.

This helps explain why Thompson can afford to be so coy. The "saviour of the party" narrative is already written, after all. Maybe he's a much better showman than his C-list stint in Hollywood implied...
