BREAKING: Fred Thompson ‘Likely To Run’ For President
Written by YellowJacket on March 19th, 2007From the Chattanoogan:
Rep. Zach Wamp said Monday that former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson is very likely to run for President.The Third District congressman told the Chattanooga Pachyderm Club, “I had a follow-up conversation with Fred Thompson, and there is a real, real strong possibility that he will run.”
He said Thompson “has to meet some obligations” with the “Law and Order” TV show and with broadcaster Paul Harvey.
He said Thompson has set aside April 18 and will meet with members of Congress. Rep. Wamp said he has already lined up over 40 members who are interested in the Thompson candidacy.
I’m starting to get pretty excited about this…

It will be interesting to see how the other candidates respond. Newt probably won’t get in anymore, Brownback will probably drop out soon after. Will McCain, Romney and Rudy attack him or just hope his momentum fades away?

They would be wise to not even mention him. The one thing they have going is that they are ahead in the name recognition game. The fewer people that hear the name Fred Thompson, the better off they will be. Once this ball starts rolling though I think you will see major support and $$ head Fred’s way. By Nov ‘08 this train will be unstoppable.

A website has been set up to encourage Fred to run:

Based on Fred’s amazing performance in recent straw polls, many, many Americans are hungry for his brand of conservatism. All he has to do is announce his candidacy; money and supporters will seek him out.
Run, Fred, Run
