Fred Retires His Presidential Campaign

Fox News Channel and The Drudge Report are both reporting that Fred Dalton Thompson is dropping his bid for the GOP Nomination for President of the United States. One of the reports on television suggests that his mother is gravely ill. Before I drop my official support for Fred and Fred only, I am awaiting confirmation from the campaign directly. One of my blogging compatriots is currently attempting to phone his contact in the campaign for official word.

UPDATE 2:48pm EST:

My contact has official confirmation that Fred is out of the race.

Officially, I now am undecided. I’m leaning heavily toward Mitt Romney but am reserving an official endorsement for the time being. There is no word on who Fred will endorse. If he should officially back Gov. Romney, I will follow. If he should endorse anyone else, I will continue to reserve my endorsement.

Let the nose holding begin because to be honest, the whole field stinks.

Update II 3:10 EST:

From FoxNews.com…

“Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for President of the United States.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. Jeri and I will always be grateful for the encouragement and friendship of so many wonderful people,” Thompson said in a statement.

Speculation still remains that he may be a second seat on a Presidential ticket. We’ll see what happens soon I guess.
