I, too, would like the nation's top job especially if I didn't have to run for it. Could I just be appointed or declared President without jumping into the fray?

Sure thing! Just raise $10,000 an hour, outpoll every Republican but Giuliani, and then we’ll talk about your next steps.
Dear Citizen:
Sarcasm aside, I’m weighing this decision in the most sober and thoughtful way I know. I hope you want a president you governs the same way.
But if you’d like a president who has dreamed of being president since he was 12, there are plenty of other candidates.
Oh, and if you can get my ratings without even having declared officially, go right ahead and try to get declared president.
Me, I’m going to run for president. And win.
Your good friend,
Fred Dalton Thompson
