"An Actor running for President? Yeah, right..."

So Fred Thompson is setting up a Presidential Exploratory Committee, to "test the waters" hmm? I know that this allows potential candidates to raise money, hire staff and gauge support without officially committing to a presidential campaign, but I wish candidates would just quit beating around the Bush, and simply get on with it, already, with their announcements.

I mean, gee....Obama invokes Lincoln on the day of his announcement (color me amazed...like we didn't see that one coming, either)....Fred Thompson, July 4th: what's it going to be? The anticipation is really killing me [/sarcasm]
