Now that he's left the race, there's talk that Fred Thompson might get tapped for somebody's number two slot.
[Advisor Rick] Galen said Thompson could end up as vice president because he could mitigate the conservative shortcomings of potential nominees such as Rudy Giuliani.What about his friend McCain? With Thompson, McCain could be a runaway train.
"Having somebody like Thompson on the ticket, it seems to me, could go a long way toward unifying and energizing the base," Galen told The Examiner.
"I don't even know if he'd take it, although I'm not sure I've ever heard of anybody turning it down," he added. "He has said flat out he's not interested in becoming vice president, but that's what they all say."
