After Thompson's poor showing in South Carolina, his last stand, many have wondered where his votes will go. We may now be beginning to get an idea.
State Senate President Eric Johnson (R-Savannah, GA), a man who was instrumental in recruiting Thompson initially in the 2008 race and who has been a key organizer in his state, has now explained why he is no longer endorsing former Senator Thompson:
"I don’t know if he’s pulling out today or tomorrow or not at all - but clearly Fred Thompson is not going to be the nominee.”
Johnson then explained why he was drawn to Gov. Romney:
“I think he’s the most qualified business person ever to run for president. If he can manage the Olympics and Massachusetts, he can control Congress.”
After a decisive win in Michigan and a blowout victory in Vegas, it became clear that Romney's message of "turning around" Washington, much like he has done in the private sector, is something that is resonating with voters across the boards.
