Really? He’s in the race?

This is such immature behavior.

Coy actions belong to high school prom Queens.

And responsibility belongs to adults...he had contractual obligations to meet:

August 2007 - Now that Mr. Thompson seems poised to re-enter politics as a Republican presidential candidate, his career will take another twist. In May, he asked NBC to release him from further “Law & Order” commitments; more recently, NBC said it was ready to stop showing reruns of the episodes he appears in because of federal equal time regulations for presidential candidates.

July 2007 - LOS ANGELES - If Fred Thompson makes it official and throws his hat in the ring for President, NBC will pull future reruns of "Law & Order" featuring the actor after Sept. 1, executive producer Dick Wolf said yesterday.Wolf, reading from an official NBC statement yesterday, said the rule applies when a person legally qualifies as a candidate.

"If Fred Thompson formally declares his intention to run for President, NBC will not schedule any further repeats of 'Law & Order' featuring Mr. Thompson beyond those already scheduled, which conclude on Saturday, Sept. 1," Wolf said. Wolf assured that NBC would take all "appropriate steps consistent with FCC regulations." Thompson fans would, however, be able to see him in reruns airing on TNT.

Nonsense. He’s got contract issues to get through.

Personally this whole campaign is starting too freakin’ early. This shouldn’t be underway until spring. Six or eight months of election prep... plenty. But doing this for a freaking year and a half is just too much.

And posts like that come from drama queens.

You don’t build a political organization and a financial network overnight.
