Bob Dole says his preferred presidential candidate, Arizona Senator John McCain, is fading and that his support is likely to be “picked up” by Fred Thompson, who is expected to announce his candidacy for the Republican nomination in September.
“My heart has always been with my good friend John McCain,” said Dole, former Senate majority leader and Republican presidential nominee. “But it’s just not happening, the buzz is gone,” he said in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” scheduled to air today.
He’s not impressed with Newt:
“I totally disagree with Newt Gingrich,” Dole said. “I don’t know how he has set himself up as the spokesman for the world, but to say we have got a bunch of pygmies, of course unless he gets in, then there is one that is not a pygmy.”
