Wasn't the Iowa Straw Poll a few days ago? They vote in that. How'd he do?

But he will continue the fight for LAw & Order through the medium of television. He's the real McCoy.

Fred Thomson is the actor and former Tenn. Senator. Tommy is the former Gov. of Wisc.

Remember the movie "Fifth Element"? Doesn't Fred Thompson look like one of those alien soldiers that Bruce Willis had so much trouble with?

Now that you mention it, he does.



Sorry KOS, I saw Thompson, and my thoughts lept to Fred, he has been in the crosshairs of the news a lot lately. I really should pay better attention.
