Fred Thompson was a former Senator from Tennessee. He is known more for his role as attorney general in Law and Order. After being pressured by the media, Thompson decided to put his name in for the presidential nomination.
His support quickly diminished after he announced his candidacy. He lacked money and publicity. People were quickly saying his heart was not in the race which was evident by the result of the primaries/caucuses.
Although Fred Thompson came in third in Iowa and second in Wyoming, he quickly dropped behind Huckabee, Romney, and McCain. He placed sixth in New Hampshire. He had a small comeback in South Carolina were he came in third, but in Nevada he was fifth. With these results, Fred Thompson dropped out on January 22.
Thompson has declared his support for John McCain on February 8.
