Thompson Says He's No Churchgoer, Won't Tout Religion on Stump

Republican presidential contender Fred Thompson, who has based his campaign on appealing to conservative voters, said he isn't a regular churchgoer and doesn't plan to speak about his religion on the stump. ...

Talking to reporters later, Thompson, a former Tennessee senator, said his church attendance "varies.''

"I attend church when I'm in Tennessee. I'm in McLean right now,'' he said referring to the Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C., where he lives. "I don't attend regularly when I'm up there.''

LSB: Freddie, Freddie, Freddie... where's the base gonna go now? McCain is becoming more of a nut every day; Romney doesn't fit the Southern Baptist role ("He's a Mormon, for heaven's sake - are they even Christian?"); and Rudy's the antithesis of family values. So, you're lazy and you don't go to church? I guess the base will have to take another look at a couple of longshots - Huckabee and Brownbeck.
