I heard on Fox News last evening that Fred has signed a deal with ABC as a political commentator. If this is true I don’t think there is much chance that he will be running for president.

This is not good news unless the TV contract is short term. He could use this national exposure for greater name recognition among the unwashed.

I agree. This does not bode well.

If I were his age, I'd take the ABC gig over the rigors of today's obscenely-hateful campaigns and the thankless stresses of POTUS any day.

If this report is true, it has NOT made my day.

He has two at-will contracts. They will be free air time, as long as they fall into the categories exempted from the equal time rule. Fred is very shrewd. He is going to leverage the media for everything he can get.

Unless his contract states that if he decides to run for president that the deal is off until the election is over.
