Thompson Says Campaign Will Continue

[JI7]

i think he was just too tired to give the concession speech tonight.



<Republican Fred Thompson remained upbeat despite failing to win or finish second in the Iowa caucuses.

Thompson was thought to represent the Republicans' best hope for retaining control of the White House, given the former Tennessee senator's conservative voting record, his fame as a television and movie actor, and his Southern appeal.

But he waited until September — some say too long — to enter the race, then followed with a series of dispassionate campaign events. The most recent polls showed him in the high single digits or low teens, and just last week Thompson said he wasn't consumed by presidential ambition.

Until a prolonged bus tour at the end of December, Thompson spent far less time in Iowa than Romney and Huckabee. He also didn't have the money needed to saturate the airwaves with campaign ads as Romney did throughout the summer and fall.>

2. Yeah, for Veep

The traditional Veep spot is perfect for him. Nothing to do except break ties in the Senate, which is about the level of excitement he can comfortably handle.

he might even be able to beat Ronald Reagan or Calvin Coolidges's records for sleeping in the Oval Office!

5. what happens if he was too tired to take the oath ?

would the monkey creature still be President ? or does that officially end after the term. maybe it goes to Pelosi.
