This morning the Friends of Fred Thompson made a statement in the Garden State. They showed that Fred has very strong support, even in the shadow of the city that Rudy Guiliani ruled for eight years.
The Middlesex County Republican Committee held its presidential preference convention this morning at the Forge in Woodbridge. The Thompson Team arrived early, and decorated the place with Fred08 signs. They distributed literature and worked the floor. And they got results.
Despite the fact that Senator McCain and Governor Romney have very high level support amongst the NJGOP - basically every machine Republican in New Jersey that is not supporting Rudy - their political muscle could not stand up to the Thompson surge.
When the convention cast its votes, Fred finished second behind the favorite of the NJGOP machine, Rudy Guiliani. Congratulations Fred.
