Thompson Endorsed By Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran
Fred Thompson has now received his first endorsement from a Senator outside his home state of Tennessee: Thad Cochran of Mississippi.
"Senator Thompson is the candidate best able to win the general election in 2008 and carry our conservative values all the way to the White House," Cochran said in a Thompson campaign press release. "I worked closely with him in the United States Senate and know he has the conservative values, integrity, experience, and judgment to unite our country, lead our nation, fight the Global War on Terrorism, and keep us safe."

These are the same people who went to Romney after his Iowa straw poll victory, and they'll just go to whoever has some momentum. Thompson's bounce is definitely fragile.

On the other hand, Cochran is an Ole Miss alumn, and, I believe, a former cheerleader like Trent, so maybe this will play big with Ole Miss alumns...
