Entire story from the Stump found here.
Fred Thompson continues to "test the waters" of a presidential bid. He's taking his time, you see, for a very good reason. It's just that nobody seems to know what that reason is. Consider Thompson's weekend stopover in Iowa. Now, why else would he go to the state fair, if not to show people he is serious about running? And yet, his trip lasted all of a single day. From Friday's Des Moines Register:
If Fred Thompson wants a place in an already full-blown campaign for the Iowa caucuses, he will have to begin hustling today to explain who he is and why he ought to be president, Republican leaders and undecided GOP caucus goers say. But by the looks of the former Tennessee senator's schedule for this first day as a presidential prospect in the leadoff nominating state, he will have hardly begun that task by the time he leaves Iowa this afternoon.
The "lazy" label has been with Mr. Thompson since his days in the Senate. And Friday's brief golf-cart tour of the Iowa State Fair did nothing to quell the notion. Gucci loafers aside, this is no way to impress voters in the heartland. Especially when the other candidates have been working hard for the past several months to impress them.
L-a-z-y. That's how you spell lazy. It takes work and organization to win--or even participate--in straw polls and elections.
Look closely at how aged the man appears. I know he’s only 65, but he looks as old as John McCain.
