Is Fred so yesterday?

After reading Ruth Marcos at WaPo, you just might think so.

"I'm running for president of the United States."

Said right Fred.

I think this was a good move for him. On the night of yet another GOP debate, Thompson was able to bring attention to himself. Making the announcement on the Tonight show worked well for Arnold Schwarzeneggar, so I'm sure Thompson thinks it will work well for him. Thompson may take some initial heat for missing all the debates so far in 2007, but I don't see it really affecting him in the future. Honestly, how much of the public has been paying attention to the debates?




Joshua Claybourn sees Thompson as the great Republican hope.

an "evangelical leader" likes Fred Thompson

Who is the unnamed person mentioned in this article?

The Brody File just got off the phone with a prominent Evangelical leader who has come to know Fred Thompson. He told me that he's very impressed with him and so are other Evangelical leaders. This leader didn't want to be identified because now is not the time to go public but suffice to say that he seems to be on board with the Fred Thompson campaign.

I'm guessing James Dobson. He clearly doesn't care for Giuliani.
