Fred Thompson Declares He Would Not Accept The Vice-Presidency If Offered

From The Hill report on the Hannity & Colmes interview:

“That’s not in the cards,” Thompson said. “That’s not what I want. Well…and I don’t think that call [from McCain] would ever happen. I think John needs somebody else. I would advise him if he asked me that he needs someone else, of a different profile. The presidency is the only job in town that’s worth going through what you got to go through to get it, including the vice presidency….”

This is pronouncement is interesting given reports that Thompson’s ill-fated presidential campaign actually snowballed out from an attempt to raise his profile so as to be in the mix to get such a nod.
