The Corner

Run, Fred, Run

Fred Thompson has had to deal with the perception that he’s not fully into the presidential campaign. That perception won’t go away with reports that Thompson hasn’t made a public campaign appearance since the debate in Dearborn, Michigan on Tuesday:

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) – Mitt Romney was in Michigan, Colorado, Arizona and Nevada and then went back to Michigan. Rudy Giuliani visited Florida, Michigan, South Carolina, Alabama, Washington and New Hampshire. John McCain went from Michigan to Iowa to New Hampshire.

But where was Fred, as in Fred Thompson?

Besides participating in his first presidential debate in Michigan last Tuesday, Thompson was missing from the campaign trail. The former Tennessee senator and star of NBC’s “Law & Order” was scheduled to be in New Hampshire this weekend, but canceled.

Thompson is scheduled to appear at an event in New York Monday night.
