Poor Thompson. The whole process just seemed to depress or bore him. I remember reading that at one campaign stop, he waved away the fireman's hat they wanted him to wear. He has a silly hat rule, so his wife put it on instead.

I add my name to the group of people who had high expectations of Fred. I'm very disappointed. To call him half-assed would be giving him more credit than he deserves. Too bad.

I guess this is good for???? Huckabee or McCain? I don't think it does anything for Mitt.

Maybe Thompson knows the screen writers' strike is going to end soon.

What could be interesting here is if Thompson's supporters go to Huckabee. If you look at the RCP averages, even half of Thompson's vote would put Huckabee in a close 2nd ahead of Rudy

Unless Giuliani's strategy in Florida miraculously works out, his and Thompson's campaigns will have to go down as two of the most oddly run campaigns by potentially significant candidates in a few cycles.
