Fred Thompson Endorses Newt Gingrich

Pix Via ARRA News Service Archives

Bill Smith, Editor: Tonight on the Sean Hannity show, former TV series "Law and Order" star and former Senator Fred Thompson endorsed Newt Gingrich for president. He said that Newt had the policies and experience to tackle the "colossal mess," And,"He's not afraid, he's tough,"

It is not know if Thompson's endorsement will have much an impact. Many conservatives rallied to Fred Thompson in 2007 when he announced his candidacy and the Arkansas Republican Assembly even endorsed him. Unfortunately, an unorganized low budget campaign was short lived. After dropping out as a candidate for the 2008 Republican nomination, Thompson endorsed former Gov. Mike Huckabee Senator John McCain who then dropped out within a few months lost to Barack Obama.

Since 2007, Thompson's star has faded and he is now best known for promoting TV Cable ads for government backed reverse home mortgages. It is unknown if his endorsement will have  much leverage.  [Above corrections: 1/24/2011]
