Fred Drops Out, Will Announce in June on Leno
by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace · 22 Comments
(2008-01-22) — One of the most highly-anticipated withdrawals from the Republican presidential field seems all but certain today, with the release of a terse written statement by former Sen. Fred Thompson.
However, disappointed conservatives may have to wait several months for a personal announcement that he’s abandoning his White House bid.
At least one close associate said, “Fred didn’t rush into this campaign, and he’s not rushing out. He just doesn’t rush anything.”
Campaign insiders said Mr. Thompson has “formed a pull-out announcement exploratory committee to determine the right timing and venue.”
However, current speculation indicates a June withdrawal, probably on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
