Well, its almost September, and Fred Thompson still hasn't thrown his hat into the ring. I guess I can see why, since it turns your life into a three ring circus. The talk about his younger wife is most likely very annoying. The media never knows when it is right to talk about your private life or not. Bill Clinton is a good example of the stupidity and bias of the media when it comes to someones personal life. Clinton had the right to cheat on his wife with no media coverage. Thompson on the other hand doesn't seem to have the right to a younger wife as far as the media is concerned. Got to love (not) the double standard when it comes to Democrats and Republicans canidates.
There is a lot to like from someone like Fred Thompson, so I am hoping he does run. He has a great common sense, direct speaking style. He has a good conservative record from his Senate days. In a lot of ways he is like Ronald Reagan. He even is a actor! Its nice they don't make him play a liberal like all the other characters on Law and Order. I think he can bring some energy back to the Republican side of the race. So Fred Thompson when are you starting your campaign?
