Just a few posts ago I said that I would not be posting about Mitt Romney, yet. Well, for this moment I am breaking this rule. I was just over visiting at Hillbilly White Trash's blog. I was reading a comment from one of the readers. He said that Senator Thad Cochran endorsed Mitt Romney. Thad Cochran had been a Fred Thompson supporter. I felt this important, due to the fact that it is one person, thus far from the Thompson camp that is going to Mitt Romney.
Wednesday, Jan 23, 2008FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
