At considerable risk to my reputation as a political seer non pareil, I'm predicting here that Fred Thompson will not run for the Republican presidential nomination.Remember where you heard it first -- except if I'm wrong, in which case, I'll delete this post and never admit to having said any such thing.

This prediction is based on what? Come on Rascal. Without giving your reasoning, your prognostication is completely meaningless.
Mr. B: It's just a hunch. The guy keeps putting off his candidacy announcement, and he didn't file a quarterly campaign finance report (which is required by law if you're acting like a candidate, even without a formal announcement). Moreover, he has a reputation of laziness and lack of fire-in-the-belly. He's got a wife who's younger than one of his daugthers, and she might not want the spotlight. He can make a ton of money staying in Hollywood. His reputation inevitably will take a beating (even from some Republicans) if he runs. He might want to wait for the tap on the shoulder to be somebody's running mate. He's got cancer. Look, Mr. B., I might well be wrong about this, but I wouldn't be surprised if he takes a pass. (By the way, Mr. B., welcome back from your competitive venture out west.)
Thank god you're only sticking your neck out!
Yeah, I wouldn't want you to face any great temptation.
