Ronald Reagan, Part Deux

I love Law & Order as much as the next guy (my favorites were the Orbach-Bratt years, ahhh the good ‘ol times), but Fred Dalton Thompson who currently plays Arthur Branch, District Attorney, on Law & Order (and in shortly lived Law & Order: Trial By Jury) is thinking of entering the race. Fred formerly filled Al Gore’s vacant spot as Tennessee’s Senator, and prior to that he was also in a number of movies including Days of Thunder, Die Hard 2, and my personal favorite Curly Sue.

ABC News also recently reported that Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel may also enter the race for the Republican ticket. Although following the news conference he held yesterday, he stated that he needed to focus on the war and other pressing issues before making a final decision, and that entering the race later this year is still possible. Chuck has opposed the Iraq war since the beginning and back in January he called President Bush’s plan to send an addition 21,500 U.S. troops to Iraq “the most dangerous foreign policy blunder carried out since Vietnam.”
