Former Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson said he would turn down an offer to run for vice president on John McCain’s ticket.
“That’s not in the cards,” the former senator said during on interview on Fox’s “Hannity and Colmes” on Thursday.
“That’s not what I want. And I don’t think that call [from McCain] would ever happen. I think John needs somebody else.”
Thompson also said: “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…
“I’m interested in absolutely nothing else other than doing what I can to help those who are trying to help this country, and be a good citizen and do those things that I can do now in the private sector to help these kids and grandchildren.
“But that does not involve, you know, going to state funerals in faraway places.”
