...work on the Watergate investigation. His foray into acting began accidentally. Film director Roger Donaldson interviewed the young lawyer while doing research for a movie about a corruption case and offered Thompson the chance to play himself. His political career also took advantage of good timing. When Al Gore vacated his Senate seat, Thompson entered the race for it and won handily, after driving his trademark red pickup truck all over Tennessee...
...There's a third-place candidate on the edge of the first tier-John Edwards and Mitt Romney. There's a big jump down to the next tier of declared candidates, none of whom seem to have much of a chance. And there is a possible late entry (Al Gore) or two (Fred Thompson and Newt Gingrich), any of whom would join the first tier...
...this similarity, what's striking is the difference in the way the race has progressed in the two parties. The Democratic campaign has been amazingly stable. In late February, if one averaged half a dozen national polls, Clinton was at about 35%, Obama had about 25%, and Edwards and Gore trailed with about 13%.

Surveys in the key early states haven't changed...

The door is open far wider for Thompson-and perhaps Gingrich-to enter the G.O.P. race than it is for Gore to join the Democratic contest...
...Coens have been accused once or twice of of criminal facetiousness - that their blend of extreme gore and low comedy in such movies as Raising Arizona and Fargo betrays a contempt for both the genre and their characters. If that was ever true, it's not here. No Country has respect for both Moss' can-do resilience and Chigurh's inhuman relentlessness; the film is fascinated with the expertise and poise under pressure of desperate men whose time is running out. For an hour and 40 mins. the film never lets up, deftly charting the itineraries of Moss, Chigurh...
