The actor and former US Senator from Tennessee, Fred Thompson, has announced to a waiting world that he is considering a run for the presidency.
If we are going to the TV series “Law and Order”, I personally would prefer Sam Waterston's character, Jack McCoy. McCoy, with his Lincolnesque pose, stands for truth, justice and the American way. He is a man of enlightenment even though he lives in New York City, has strong views on how to clean up the streets and who periodically shows a sense of compassion. He is also a person with a long history of womanizing, which certainly won’t hurt him this year.
So, if we are going to TV let us go to the star rather than to the supporting actor.

Funny you would say it, but Sam Waterston is actually a part of the Unity 08 initiative, the bipartisan presidential effort of folks like former Maine Gov. Angus King and former Carterite Jody Powell. Maybe there is a cross-ticket opportunity here.
