did it ever occur to you that at this point he decided that he really didn't want to waste anybody else's money.
For whatever reason he was going nowhere. I suppose he could have lied and made promises that he could never keep, like Romney did in Michigan. He promised us one thing, that he would be Fred Thompson. Republicans wanted their special interests, and voted for their own special interests (Military - McCain; Economy - Romney; Abortion - Huckabee; War on Terror - Giuliani; Insanity - Paul).
The republican party has been Balkanized. We needed a candidate like Thompson, but then we didn't vote for him.
It was way to soon to be making such a call.
