FRED THOMPSON
Fred Thompson's Two Invitations to the NRA Conference
A Thompson Associate, noting Fred Thompson's appearance at an NRA conference Friday: "Fred Thompson got two invitations, one to speak as a presidential candidate, the other to attend because he's an NRA member. He's been one since 1994. How many of the other guys can say that?"
As some guy in the New York Sun noted earlier this year:
Nonetheless, the endorsement of the NRA Political Victory Fund has correlated with every Republican presidential victory since 1980. In 1992 and 1996, the organization declined to endorse a candidate. After the 2000 election, President Clinton contended in an interview that NRA opposition cost Vice President Gore New Hampshire, Arkansas, and perhaps Tennessee and Missouri.
