Fred Pulls Out

"Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for President of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort."
-Fred Thompson
So ends one of the stranger campagins in recent political history. He entered the race late as an alternative candidate to Willard, Guiliani & McCain and surged instantly in state and national polls but could not meet the hype and expectations placed on him. So long Fred.
