I'm still heartbroken about Fred, and as if to taunt me, I got a package from Friends of Fred today. What am I going to do now with a big sort of painted looking image poster with Thompson 2008 and, no joke, a rhinestone pin that spells out Thompson 2008? If he were still in the race, both would amuse and delight me to no end, but as it is, just kind of reminds me of what won't happen.
It also reminded me of the incredible expense that you've got even when you drop out because you've had to plan and pre-order everything. I suppose maybe that's encouraging people to drop out sooner rather than later. You can't even just maintain your spending, you kind of have to accelerated it for something like Super Tuesday.
Maybe all the drop-outs looked at the cost of ads in all the markets for Super Tuesday and just buckled.
