I voted early for Fred in '08. I think he dropped out just after I mailed my ballot. Didn't matter. By the time it got to election day CA on Feb 5, it was down to three unacceptable choices: McCain, Huckster & Romney.
But haven't you heard? "Fred Thompson is the ONLY candidate who UNDERSTANDS federalism"
(Is it just me, or was it kinda creepy when the Fredheads on FR started talking like Ron Paul supporters?)
