I agree with the writer. In the early summer, Fred had the buzz because he was “none of the above” in the Rudy McRomney suckfest. That was the time to seize the momentum and get into the race. Like Mario Cuomo and Colin Powell, Thompson has sat on the sidelines so long that Republicans are now looking elsewhere - at Huckabee, at Hunter, at Paul, etc.
A great candidate can’t be a great leader if he never gets onto the field. I think Fred may be rethinking whether he even wants the job. You can’t have a winning candidate who doesn’t have the conviction to run. That’s what all this indecision says to me. Fred can talk a good game but he doesn’t have the stones to jump in.

I’m wondering if he make a “not-running” announcement, despite his repeated comments on Hannity to the contrary.
I don't know enough about the specifics of Fred's positions to say whether or not I like his brand of conservativism. However, what you see as "indecision," combined with Fred's NOT participating in the sham "debates" that were "moderated" by screaming liberals, says to me that Fred does things on HIS terms, not those of Liberals and the MSM. I like that about him for sure. The Republican candidates who took part in the "debates" lost stature in my eyes because they were so willing to let the opposition set the terms.
Ask yourself if any rational person would give up millions in acting and media salary and residuals NOT to run?
