It was one of my favorite bumper stickers of this campaign. A navy blue oval outlined in white that just said "Fred 08." I grabbed a couple of them the last time I was at GOP HQ. Now of course I'm banking on them becoming coveted collector's items. Hello ebay.
Fred Thompson's campaign just never seem to take off. I met him on the day or day after he launched his campaign. He was certainly pleasant but didn't seem terribly excited. His mood seemed to me more of someone who had just successfully reorganized his tools in the garage than someone who was launching a presidential bid. Maybe that was him being excited. Who knows?
No one will ever be able to argue that he didn't look like a president. Or a district attorney. Or a sub commander for that matter. Anyway, more elbow room for the other candidates at the debate in Boca Thursday. Such is politics.
