Fred Thompson Drops Out

Former Republican Senator Fred Thompson has officially dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination for President.

Thompson was hyped heavily prior to entering the race but once he finally did enter he was never able to build any kind of momentum. In fact his candidacy seemed to peak before he even entered the race as his actual campaign left a lot to be desired. Thompson appeared to be lazy, bored, and not particularly knowledgeable or intelligent in debates and campaign appearances.

While Thompson has done poorly thus far he does have a reasonable amount of support in national polls (about 9%) so it will be an important question as to where his support goes to in the upcoming primaries.
