Boring!

No, Newt, don't do it! Don't endorse Fred Thompson - or at the very least, don't endorse him yet! Play hard to get! Demand the Vice-Presidential nod as the price of your support, and get it in writing! Keep flirting with jumping into the race! Look at the polls - even with Thompson in the mix, "none of the above" is still in the lead! This might be your hour after all!

Above all, ask yourself - What Would Charles De Gaulle Do? He wouldn't endorse Fred Thompson, that's for damn sure.
