Fred Thompson

Actor and former Senator seems more and more likely to join the presidential hopefuls on the Republican side of things. I know absolutely nothing about his politics except that he is a Republican but I fully support his candidacy. Why?

I have been a "Law and Order" fan since the show began in 1991. I particularly am fond of the Jack McCoy Character, played by Sam Waterston. It was hinted, at the end of this last season that Wolf, the creator of the long-running series, has developed a contingency plan for how to replace Thompson's Character -New York District Attorney Arthur Branch. The plan it seems is that Jack McCoy would somehow become a reluctant DA ( a position- btw- that would be more fitting to the actor's real age).

This could potentially bring about significant development for the character that is arguably the most pivotal in the "Law and Order" franchise. There would be likely screen time in each of the spin-off shows an could invigorate the franchise for a few more years.

I know I should care more about the politics of this thing- but let's face it: Does anyone really believe an actor could become president? oh, hey-wait a minute!
