Fred Thompson Drops Out Of The Race

Fred ThompsonFred Thompson’s campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination is over.

“Today, I have withdrawn my candidacy for president of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort,” Thompson said in a statement.

Fred always seemed like a bit of a long shot, mainly because his campaign never really gathered any steam. After spending a great deal of time campaigning in South Carolina, a state in which he said he would have to win to be competitive in the race, he came in third.

No word yet on who, if anyone, he will endorse.

    Andrew Riley is an idealist, a dreamer, and occasionally a real son-of-a-bitch. He spends his days webmastering this blog, writing for this blog, and more importantly filling his four year old son's head with silly nonsense. He is an Army veteran, a conservative Libertarian, and gets bored with most people pretty quickly. 4 out of 5 dentists agree that he is way cooler than you.
