Fred Thompson Withdraws from Race

Back to Law and Order for ole Fred? As late has he was joining the race seems fitting that he's the earliest in leaving. Who knows what he could have done if he actually took it more seriously early on. Here's his statement:

"Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for President of the United States.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."
