Fred Thompson Drops his friends' bid for the White House

I admire Fred Thompson, in fact, during the debates on the 5th and 6th I kept saying, "Wow, so that is why Fred Thompson is so cool!" While some in the blogosphere are "Crying in the Rain", others are exulting like Mike "Thompson made us lose SC" Huckabee or was it vice versa?

Regardless of your mood, I suppose when a candidate retires we, the masses, get to reflect on our favorite moment. Mine was the exchange between Thompson and Huckabee about death (although Huckabee meant death taxes).


Huckabee "I'll get rid of the estate tax and death."

Thompson "You'll get rid of death?... That ain't gonna work so well."


And although Fred drops the race his friends tried to win for him, Fred retires from the Presidential race with even more fans than his Law & Order days. Hat tip to Fred Thompson for a pretty good run from a man who understands quite a bit about being a Republican.

Most voters that choose Fred Thompson over Huckabee will find a new candidate in Mitt Romney. Looks like Thompson followers may be transitioning to Mitt Romney already. Take a look here, here, and here.
