It's amazing how far a non-candidate can go in a race.
Is it really, though? Non-candidates don't get as much scrutiny from the press because their stories are still in the feel-good realm. They don't have to take whithering attacks from their opponents because those individuals-real, announced candidates-have to use their resources to combat other real, announced candidates. They don't have the opportunity to screw up at debates. In other words, they haven't faced the live fire of a Presidential campaign yet.
I'm not down on Fred Thompson. Honest, Fredpostles out there, I'm not. I just can't get into the guy until he throws his fat in the fire and proves himself a worthy candidate. He's masterfully played his pre-candidacy. Now let's see what he's got as candidate.
