Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson ended his campaign today by issuing the following statement: "Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for President of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort. Jeri and I will always be grateful for the encouragement and friendship of so many wonderful people."
I would say Thompson’s best speech in Iowa was made on August 17 at the Iowa State Fair — before he officially entered the race. As you can see from the title of this post, Thompson was "officially" a candidate for just over three months compared to the more than five months in which Thompson and his "Friends of Fred" were in the flirtation phase.
