Being in Middle Tennessee, Fred was definitely my man. If only he was 20 years younger. Cancer took a lot out of him, I think. He can formulate thoughts well on paper, but the energy to campaign wasn’t there.
I recall that the policy prescriptions on Fred's website were thoughtful and exciting, going far beyond anything anybody else was putting out there.
Fred knew what it would really take to reform the federal government -- and was evidently prepared to undertake the task.
He would've made a helluva President. But, alas, it was not to be.
