Interesting article on the elusive Fred Thompson.

I'm starting to get worried about Fred. Maybe his friends at Law and Order can put out an APB on him?

Really, I don't think he's planning to run anymore. I really don't think he feels like doing all the campaigning and stuff that he would have to do if he ran. Then again, he could be waiting till all the other candidates have beat each other up before announcing, but that’s a stupid strategy, I believe. Even if he has been raising money, he is surely behind the frontrunners by a significant margin, and waiting any longer is just going to increase that gap. I honestly think his ship’s already left the harbor.

He's given up too much to not run.

Presidentially speaking, Fred Thompson is a flash in the pan.

His Presidential star will rise momentarily, have a glorious burst of light, burn out, then fall to the earth as quickly as it rose, never to rise again.

Lets hope that this all happens before the end of the major primaries.

Smart Bet is on Romney.... the bet should be on Rudy... the ultra smart bet is on Huckabee.

The idiot bet is on McCain (the idiot is right twice a day like a broken clock).

Fred is a lazy asshole trying to play the American people. They aren't quite that dumb.

Sorry, jfern, but where have you been for the last 8 years?  Oh I get it.

Yeah, what opebo said. Still, it would be a marvel of collective "very funny" retardation if a second person was able to fleece nearly a third a billion americans for a third time.

As unlikely as I thought it might be, it actually looks like Mitt Romney might be the 2008 Republican nominee.

I am not sure if he'll run now. And if he does, I think the primaries won't treat him well.
