Former Senator Fred Thompson, who was my preferred 2008 candidate for president, has released the following statement endorsing Newt Gingrich for president.
When Fred speaks, I listen. He's a thoughtful and solid conservative. I believe that Senator Thompson has looked at the stakes involved in this election and concluded that a moderate establishment candidate like Romney can't win. Newt is not a perfect man or candidate. He's surging and earning support in this election because he's communicating a passionate unapologetic conservative message. If the GOP seeks to defeat Barack Obama this year, they need to heed Ronald Reagan's late 1970s caution to embrace "bold colors" of contrast instead of the "pale pastels" of running a moderate against a far-left candidate.
Unapologetic conservatives win every time. Moderates lose. A quick glance at recent presidential politics should make that clear.
Here's Fred Thompson's endorsement:
