Fred Thomspon was all the buzz before he semi-officially entered the race. But now that he has declared that he is going to declare, his campaign has landed with a resounding thud. He is running third behind Romney, and, I shit you not, "None of the above". "None of the above" is actually winning the race for the Republican nod at this point.
I don't mind Fred as an actor, and he seems like a nice guy. What disturbs me about his presidential run is his attitude about it. It's as if he is constantly shrugging. He gives me the "...and now they want me to be president" vibe. Like it's some burden that yet another old white man has to bear. The presidency isn't supposed to be a job you clock watch on. I know that's what Bush does. But remember back to a real president, Clinton, to see a motivated leader who knew how to get things done.
