An uncommitted GOP strategist went further, saying Thompson’s approach to a possible bid needs to be sharpened. Citing ballot access in early primary and caucus states as an example, the strategist said Thompson’s team shows a “lack of understanding of what it takes to get in the race. It’s not just traveling around the country giving speeches.” ~Politico

Well, I think that for the sake of Fred Thompson, all of the relevant states would just give him an exemption from these “laws” and allocate funds for statues to be built in his honour instead.    Perhaps all fifty states could send delegations to pay homage to him, rather than wearing out the deliverer with all of this traveling.  They could bring offerings representative of the different peoples and regions of the country, and it could all be inscribed in a giant rock carving celebrating the glory of Fred Thompson (which would, of course, have to replace all of the figures on Mount Rushmore).  He has at least deigned to think about possibly running, so how could we do any less?

Did I mention I’m not a fan?
