Steve King Endorses Thompson

Iowa GOP Representative and kingmaker Steve King announced his endorsement for president this morning. He’s supporting Fred Thompson.

Probably the most important Iowa endorsement there is. Will this cause Thompson's stock to skyrocket? Anyones guess.

UPDATE: From MSNBC...

King just announced that he's supporting Thompson. Team Romney is in the back of the room looking bewildered. They were all here, leading all the press to conclude that it was an endorsement for Romney.

Stand by for more.

*** UPDATE II *** Thompson just issued this statement on King's endorsement: "Congressman King's leadership in support of the sanctity of life and his efforts in the fight against illegal immigration have made him one of Iowa's great Republican leaders. He's a tireless fighter for the 5th district of Iowa and I'm honored by his support. I look forward to working with Congressman King over the next three weeks and into 2008 in support of the traditional conservative values he and I share."
