I thought he had a good chance given all the media hype about him joining the race.

NAPLES, Fla. - Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson quit the Republican presidential race on Tuesday, after a string of poor finishes in early primary and caucus states.

"Today, I have withdrawn my candidacy for president of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort," Thompson said in a statement.

Thompson's fate was sealed last Saturday in the South Carolina primary, when he finished third in a state that he had said he needed to win.

He would have probably done better if he had not waited so long to enter the race. He would have given Huckabee more of a contest.

I guess 1 Republican actor wanting to be president was enough for their party.
