"Nothing ever upset Fred Thompson more than the story that he was considering dropping out to endorse McCain."

What lit a fire under Fred Thompson?

So Fred's good when riled. But do we want a President who needs riling to be good? I know you can say that somehow Fred would be good behind the scenes, and he only needs riling to be good in front of the camera, but don't we have to judge him by what we see?

By the way, the rightosphere clearly prefers Fred, according to this poll.
