Fred's problem, besides getting in way too late, was that he looks, and often acts like the funeral director from Phantasm.

It's sad, the one Republican who didn't have to qualify his conservatism. Some say he didn't seem like he wanted it. Some say he wasn't active enough.

Well, he gave speaches, but the press refused to cover them. He went on the road talking to the people. He layed out what he was about, not what the others aren't about. But I guess that wasn't enough.

I watched the speech he gave after S. Carolina, it seemed a lot like a concession speech, so this really isn't a surprise.

Now those of us who supported him are left wondering who is second best. 

        

Yep!

I was actually rather happy to see him throw his name in the ring because he had some good points, and he seemed to be a good 'competitor' for lack of better words, for the other prez wannabes.

However, he entered late, didn't seem to try that hard, had a make shift crew, didn't meet with the public that much and seemed to be lacking anything resmebling an oomph of energy. Plus that and he actually said he wasn't interested in running for president.

A few people have mentioned how he looks to have aged greatly and I've heard of some mentioning that possibly his lymphoma came back.

I figger we need a few more days and then we will see Rudy drop out too, that's a given.

I never really thought much about Thompson. The fact that his wife IS so young kind of creeped me out, but I didn't know where he stood on many issues. I find myself apathetic, bordering on the side of relief for his drop out. And the relief is only because he gave me the willies. There's really not a good reason for it.
