Fred Thompson Watch: National Right To Life Committee to Endorse Thompson

Republican presidential hopeful, former Tenn. Sen. Fred Thompson, talks to reporters after speaking to local residents during a stop at the Uncommon Grounds coffee house Monday, Nov. 12, 2007, in Indianola, Iowa

Just when Mitt Romney gains momentum, Fred Thompson will announce soon that the National Right to Life Committee endorses his candidacy for President.

For a candidate who came up empty-handed last week when three prominent Christian conservatives endorsed GOP hopefuls and is falling in both national and early state polls, the move comes at a critical time.

NRLC is the most prominent anti-abortion group in the country, with affiliates in all 50 states and over 3,000 local chapters.

Soren Dayton describes the “JUICE” this brings the Thompson campaign and what a BLOW this is to Mitt-Mentum.

It has been conventional wisdom for a while that Romney and Thompson are fighting over the same voters. You can expect the mailboxes and phones of those voters to light up with detailed explanations of why Mitt Romney is not the right man to be president, or at least our nominee. From a very credible outside group. I have long asked who is actually going to attack Romney. We have our answer. In the end, this will move numbers.

For the anti-Giuliani Evangelical Christian folks this move is NOT good – it will further split and fragment the So-Con RIGHT.

Will this force James Dobson’s hand?

Stay tuned…….
