“What’s Next For Thompson?”
1. Drop out
2. Endorse his good friend McCain
3. Sign up for another season of Law and Order
I doubt Fred could return to Law & Order, especially since Sam Waterson’s character Jack McCoy has been “promoted” to District Attorney.
However, if Thompson doesn’t because the vice presidential candidate, he probably won’t have much problem finding acting work. Besides, a replacement for Paul Harvey will be needed in the future.
As for the Presidential race, I have no idea what will happen.
