After Giuliani had withdrawn and endorsed Senator McCain, Tommy Thompson also endorsed him. Thompson said, "Today, I am proud to announce my endorsement of John McCain for president, John McCain has a lifetime of service to our country, and he is the leader best prepared to serve as commander in chief from day one. His conservative record and personal leadership qualities give us the best chance of defeating the Democrats in November." <ref> http://republicancandidates.blogspot.com/2008/02/governor-tommy-thompson-endorses-john.html </ref>
