Louie Gohmert (R-TX) - Who should win the Republican nomination for President in 2008?

Gohmert is a co-host for a fundraising event

Four more House Republican lawmakers have revealed they support Thompson even though Thompson has not yet formally launched a White House campaign.

A fundraising invitation sent out last week lists Reps. Louie Gohmert (Texas), Lee Terry (Neb.), Lynn Westmoreland (Ga.) and Roger Wicker (Miss.) as hosts for the event.

The unofficial endorsements are notable because they come from outside of Tennessee. Wicker’s support is the least surprising, perhaps, because he is Thompson’s fourth cousin.

Switches to McCain from Thompson; "It's time to unite in support of John McCain for the good of this great country."

McCain's website:

ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced that Congresswoman Kay Granger, Congressman John Carter and Congressman Louie Gohmert have endorsed John McCain for president.

"Though we have not had a terrorist attack on our soil in six and a half years, Democrats Clinton and Obama promise a change," said Congressman Gohmert. "John McCain is the only candidate whose oath to protect us against all enemies, foreign and domestic, is a matter of historically proven fact and not an empty promise. Anyone who has reservations needs to know that it's time to unite in support of John McCain for the good of this great country."
