Fred Thompson out

Alas, of the presidential candidates that I could stomach, Thompson was my guy. He had, I suppose, a two-week window where he could have seized the lead and hung on for dear life. He refused, or was incapable, or his staff was in too much disarray...or whatever.

If he didn't want to get in the race and do the things, sometimes debasing and humilitating things, necessary to win he shouldn't have gotten in and raised hopes in the first place.

And now, who? The race is getting less palatable with each passing day.
