To clarify, if he declares, Law and Order will be forced to run older re-runs which Thompson did not appear in. His producer wants him to run, so I think that will probably work out, as long as the first run episodes are able to show.

But there's a big difference between Fred Thompson declaring, and merely forming an exploratory committee which he has yet to do, correct?

And as a side note, not directed to you, this vicious bloodbath at FR makes me ill. It's April of 2007, and no debate has even been held, much less the first vote cast.

The bloodlust is an amazing spectacle. A lot of folks I've agreed with and disagreed with over the years are gone.

I'll miss them even if I usally disagreed with them. I never thought they weren't conservatives, just perhaps a different flavor.

Why would he form an exploratory committee if he is already planning to declare in May? It would have so little time to gear up before becoming defunct.
