GOP savior may drop out, back the other old guy

Saint Fred Reaganson dead in the water, but isn't losing any sleep over it.

Several Republican officials close to Fred "Zzzzz... whuh? Yeah, I'm awake" Thompson’s presidential campaign said they expect the candidate will cut and run from the race within days if he finishes poorly in Thursday’s Iowa caucus.  

A Thompson campaign source said there is “a strong likelihood” that if Sleepy McNappersons comes in a distant third in Iowa, with less than 15 percent of the vote, he would drop out soon — most likely before this weekend’s New Hampshire presidential debates.

Friends and advisers said they have long considered it likely that if the lobbyist-actor is forced from the race he would halfheartedly endorse John McCain, in exchange for being named attorney general in a McCain administration.

And if that doesn't work out, maybe he can become a spokesman for La-Z-Boy or Serta.

Update: Frederick of Hollywood is denying the whole thing. Evidently he's either a Sleep Number© man, or he's just too lazy to drop out.

Fun fact: Freetard founder RimJob has endorsed Snorey McLoungechair as a conservative ball of fire who'll do all sorts of magical stuff once he wakes the fuck up.
