He racked up a ton of Texas supporters, including Land Commish Jerry Patterson and AG Greg Abbott, but former US Senator Fred Thompson was never able to find his mojo on the stump. (Maybe because of persistent observations that he didn't care to be running for president in the first place.)

Anyway, he's out of the running now. (I would have posted this earlier, but I was too busy trying to figure out what happened to actor Heath Ledger.)

Thompson visited Texas back in September to raise money and talk with the press; he sat down with me for an interview that didn't really tell us much at all. (Let's be honest, right?) The one part of the interview where he was briefly engaging was then I asked him which "UT" was the true UT. (As you know he is from Tennessee, who's university also boasts of being "UT".)

I also (true story) tried to get him to pose with me making his serious Law and Order face from the Law and Order intro, but he totally blew me off.
