Fred Thompson appears to be keeping a pretty low profile and a rather light schedule for someone running for president. Especially for someone running for president nearly nine months after a good portion of the other candidates had already announced and started to raise money.

This week Thompson will hold no public appearances, opting instead to attend a few light fundraisers. This is off the heels of a very light second official week as a candidate in which he attended an average of no more than three appearances a day according to the NY Times.

My only question is, why would a guy who seems so unenthusiastic when it comes to running for president leave behind a pretty good gig on Law & Order to do it?
