Fred Thompson is a possible second or third choice. So is Mitt Romney. So is anyone else in our camp except McCain or Guilani, who should be running as Democrats.

But if Fred Thompson thinks good staff or even superb staff can pull him across the finish line, he's dead wrong. I need to see a lot more effort and "fire in the belly" before I can consider him seriously.

There are a lot of second tier candidates working harder than Fred right now. Two of them (Duncan Hunter and Tommy Thompson) definitely have better presidential resumes.

Yep, and they are SHARING 2% in the polls with 2 other people. So much for 'fire in the belly' when you can't even get out of the cellar.

The latest is that if S.C. moves its primary up, N.H. will move to mid-December. Not much time.

Fred has said he will declare his candidacy around Labor Day, I think it would be good to judge the ‘fire in the belly’ factor then. (and it won’t take long if the Iowa caucuses are moved up to December!)
