Voters: "thumbs down" for Frederick of Hollywood

Erstwhile GOP savior Saint Fred Reaganson turning out to be, like Reagan himself, quite dead.

It takes a "Law and Order"-style investigation to find Fred Thompson on the campaign trail.

"He's done a terrible job of acting in this campaign," said Diane Owen, an associate professor of political science at Georgetown University and part-time comedienne.

There wasn't one public event listed in the Manchester Union Leader, the state's mega-politics paper, for Thompson during the weekend. And around media circles, his camp has put out word that he's not going to be campaigning much.

And by "much" they mean "at all."
