Fred To Finally Run For President? Quits "Law & Order"
Actor Fred Thompson is giving up his role as a prosecutor on the TV series "Law & Order," perhaps for a run at the White House.
The show's creator and executive producer Dick Wolf said Thompson asked for his release Wednesday. Wolf said the former Tennessee senator told him he "has not made a firm decision about his political future," but the show's production schedule would create constraints.
Thompson has yet to announce he's seeking the Republican presidential nomination, but GOP officials with knowledge of his plans say he'll make his first formal campaign move soon. He's expected to establish an exploratory committee in the coming days, a move that would allow Thompson to hire a staff and begin fundraising.
The best thing to come from Fred running is bringing the Conservatives together. Hopefully this buries Giuliani, McCain, and Romney. The thought of either one of those candidates become president is frightening.
I was hesitant on promoting Fred too much because I believe there are a few Conservative candidates already in the race. Duncan Hunter, Mike Huckabee, and Sam Brownback are all conservatives which would be excellent choices. I was hoping after the first few debates, their stock would rise. It didn't happen. So now we have Fred to bring attention to the Conservatives in the Republican party.
Many people do not know much about Fred Thompson. Well, stay tuned, he blogs frequently and I will start posting excerpts here.
