Oh Please…Oh Please….
By Jeff Fecke | March 12, 2007
Is there room in the race for two elected officials from New York City? Okay, one’s fictitious, but still:
Not enough “star” power for Fred Thompson in a GOP presidential field that includes some of his friends? Whatever the case, the actor and former Tennessee senator is considering getting into the 2008 race.
Thompson, who plays district attorney Arthur Branch on NBC’s drama “Law & Order,” said Sunday, “I’m giving some thought to it, going to leave the door open” and decide in the coming months. “It’s not really a reflection on the current field at all,” he said.
No! The fact that this is the weakest GOP field since Alf Landon cruised to defeat has nothing to do with it! Who would think such a crazy thing?
“I think people are somewhat disillusioned. I think a lot of people are cynical out there. I think they’re looking for something different. … and I think that they’re going to be open to different things,” he said.
Of course, the big question: will Jack McCoy back him?

It seems “Hang ‘Em High” McCoy isn’t interested in higher office; I already tried to tap him for MN Attorney General.
