Where in the world is Fred Thompson???October 14th, 2007 | 2 Comments | Posted in Carmen Sandiego, F. Thompson, Humor, Lazy, New Hampshire, News Articles, Non-Campaign Appearances

I’m probably dating myself, but I remember when my Mom used to do daycare and the kids that she watched were constantly watching “Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?”
Reading this story about Fred Thompson reminded me of the show, the difference between Fred Thompson and Carmen Sandiego is that Carmen Sandiego actually went somewhere. Fred Thompson doesn’t seem to go anywhere (at least not as much as a person purportedly running for President needs to go).
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.
New Hampshire voters noticed.
Here are a couple observations from those very voters:
“I like him, but he won’t make it,” said Claire Roy, a Manchester Republican who, like most voters, remains undecided. “He started too late to begin with. I don’t think he’s presidential material. That’s the way I look at it.”
Added Ann Essensa, an independent voter from Exeter who visited Giuliani on Sunday: “I don’t know enough about (Thompson) yet. I haven’t seen him yet.”
