In Memory of Fred Thompson

Today we lay to rest the presidential hope of Fred Thompson. Several hours ago, he announced that he was withdrawing his candidacy for president. He has not won any of the primaries, but his finishes have not been embarrassing either. I guess the big question on the Republican ticket right now is who will Thompson throw his support to? He has in the past supported John McCain, but as far as the issues go, he is much more like Mitt Romney than McCain. Thompson doesn't have a huge support base, but as close as the republican race has been, his supporters could be all someone needed to launch out in front of the pack.
