Tennessee senator Fred Thompson (R) stopped by the McCain-Palin headquarters in Henderson to say thanks to supporters and volunteers Tuesday afternoon.

Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson stopped by the McCain-Palin Henderson headquarters to show thanks and give a pep talk to volunteers and supporters this afternoon.
The former Republican presidential candidate and part-time TV and movie actor was quick to give praise to his former rival, GOP presidential candidate John McCain.
“Has there ever been a choice more stark than the one we have this coming election?” Thompson said. “Here you’ve got the most liberal and inexperienced candidate the party has ever put up for president versus a fellow who has been involved in every major matter, foreign and domestic over the last 30 years.”
At the Henderson headquarters, volunteers make phone calls, hand out signs and help with fundraising. McCain campaign regional communication director Rick Gorka would not comment of the number of volunteers the headquarters currently has.
“That’s for us to know and the Obama campaign to worry about,” Gorka said.
Thompson’s visit to the headquarters came just hours after Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin delivered a speech in Henderson.
"Do you hear all the squeaking and hollering they’re doing? She must be doing something right,” Thompson said of Palin.
Though Democratic vice presidential Barack Obama is leading in several national polls, Thompson said McCain will pull ahead during the final two weeks.
“I think he needs to keep doing what he’s doing. I noticed today Rasmussen has McCain leading in Florida and Ohio,” Thompson said. "These national polls are interesting. These are state to state races and he’s closing the gap.”
The Rasmussen Reports daily presidential tracking poll has McCain leading in Ohio by 2 percent and 1 percent in Florida as of Monday. Nationwide, Rasmussen reports Obama ahead of McCain 50 percent to 46 percent.
Read how the democrats in Pennsylvania demand cash to get out the vote.
Is this how democrats everywhere get out the vote.
First you pay Acorn to register them.
Then you pay the local precinct workers to deliver the votes.
All for cash??
If Obama does it in Philly does he have to do it everywhere?

A few ACORN employees scammed ACORN for money for registrations. They did not scam the election! Hundreds of ACORN employees did the job they were paid to do and did it honestly and those are the ones we do not hear about.
In Florida, people were told they were signing a petition against child abuse but this petition changed their party from Democrat to Republican. Better known as "slamming." This was a WHITE GUY and a REPUBLICAN AFFILIATION so take a break here and realize that hanky-panky has been played on both sides.
Hey Fred, still smoking those Cuban stogies?
I WAS TOLD THAT OBAMA DOES NOT SALUTE THE FLAG. HE JUST STANDS QUIETLY. IS THIS TRUE?
