So Fred made his announcement... on Leno? I can sort of understand why Arnold made his announcement on Leno - it was a bit of a surprise and he was running for Governor of California, after all. But the non-candidate candidate (guess I can't call him that any more) has always been in the running, at least as far expectations go. And announcing on Leno seems... I don't know, maybe not becoming of the office you're seeking? I mean, the next thing you know, he's going to be playing a saxaphone on the Arsenio Hall show.
While I neither fear nor welcome a Fred Thompson candidacy, I cast serious doubts on his ability to "invigorate" a dispirited GOP. After all, we're looking for more conservatives, thankyouverymuch, and not more well-phrased platitudes without any meaningful substance behind them.
Hmm. I wonder...? Does that make Fred our Barack Obama? Says all the right things, but a little long on the sizzle and a little short on the steak?

I don't trust Fred on immigration. How the neocon types at hotair.com swoon for him doesn't help. Reagan was a leader who did some acting. Thompson is an actor who wants to lead.
Fred is very unimpressive. And I doubt that he wants to lead, he just wants to be president.
T, and TM,
Thanks for the comments, guys. He's "playing" a Presidential candidate right now, on that there's no doubt. What I can't figure out is what's the deal with his supporters - are they mostly just L&O fans?

They're fans of acting. They're enthusiastic participants in the big charade called partisan politics.
Yeah, he's looking to play his biggest role yet, and his supporters are looking to be entertained. Is he really that good an actor?
But check out the accolades Mark Alexander of the Federalist Patriot is casting at Fred's feet.

TM,
Yeah, I couldn't believe it, must be a TN thing. I don't know what to think of Mark Alexander sometimes.
