Fred Thompson and I have one thing in common – three wives. Oops,wait a minute, he only had two… just a fair number of also-rans. Let’s hope for both our sakes we stop there and that he stops at three campaign managers. The cliché goes third time lucky. That’s been true of my personal life. Is it true of the political? I would like to see more of the sly, surprising Thompson we had a couple of months ago. You don’t see much of that in politics and I think it’s going to be sorely needed in this loooong campaign ahead. Winner, in the end, might be the wittiest; most of the list is already threatening to bore us to death.
(BTW, Pajamas Media still gets endless email from irate Ron Paul supporters complaining their man isn’t on the poll, when he has been for several weeks. I guess they just pick it some bloviation on some website somewhere and fire away for the Causus Paulus. Talk about lack of sense of humor. These people are Grim with a capital G.)

1. Lem:The problem isn’t the handlers. All the “testing of the waters” makes many (me) believe FT can’t swim.
By the time he jumps in, if he ever does, all the talk will be about a race featuring La Pinta (Obama) La Nina (Hillary) and La Santa Maria (Giuliani).
While FT waits for the Potomac to freeze over.
