Great news!
A late movement by Iowa conservatives toward the Fred Thompson campaign
was spotlighted by today’s announcement that noted Iowa conservative
leader, State Representative Gary Worthan, had endorsed the former
Senator from Tennessee.Many Iowa conservatives have been
undecided and Worthan’s endorsement was an important one for the
Thompson campaign, which got a late start in the 2008 election process.“Gary
Worthan was one of the key Iowa conservatives that had been undecided.”
stated Bob Haus, Iowa Executive Director for the Thompson campaign.
“Gary’s endorsement is one we were hoping to pick up in these days
leading up to the Iowa Caucuses. We’re humbled to get it.”Haus
stated that the campaign expects to pick up more endorsements from Iowa
conservatives. Conservative support has been encouraging and “the
movement on the ground here seems to be toward Fred Thompson.”
Another one to add to the already steller list of endorsements from bloggers and politico’s:

Not to mention Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), Former Sen. George Allen (R-VA), Former Sen. Al D’Amato (R-NY), Former Rep. J.C. Watts (R-OK), California State Sen.

Oh, and I forgot to mention Pat Buchanan’s former Iowa campaign director for his 1996 run,
Loras Schulte:
To all my friends,
First, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, but for those of you
who live in Iowa , I need not tell you that in little more than a
handful of days … we will make a monumental decision at our Caucuses:
who leaves Iowa with the chance to gain their Party’s nomination for
President, and all that means to the future of our Country. Because I
sit on RPI’s State Central Committee, I have remained neutral in this
year’s Caucus process, but now I feel compelled to join with the likes
of: Cong. Steve King, Bill Sailer and what appears to be the entire
Iowa leadership team of Tom Tancredo, Representatives Kraig Paulsen,
Jeff Kaufmann and Sandy Greiner, and scores of other notable Iowa
Republicans in endorsing the candidacy of Senator Fred Thompson.
Great company to be in!
