Fred Thompson would likely be the frontrunner had he fought for and won the governorship in Tennessee after he left the Senate. Instead he decided to sign on to be a token conservative voice on the increasingly bad Law & Order.
Does anyone know why he chose this path? I know that the current Dem governor of Tennessee is very popular now, but so too was Thompson, and its likely that Thompson would have beaten Bredesen back in 2002.
"Does anyone know why he chose this path?"
No, but maybe money?
BEcause his daughter was dying, dimbulb.
Some of you should LOOK UP STUFF before you shoot your mouth off.
