COLUMBIA -- Ex-Sen. Fred Thompson has told Republicans that if he decides to run for president, he would enter the race earlier than anticipated -- perhaps as early as the second week of June. A Tennessee Republican said that Thompson has been convinced that he will not win unless he recruits a good staff, and that he cannot recruit a good staff unless he gets in the race.
Several RNC state chairs said that representatives for Thompson had tentatively accepted invitations to candidate events scheduled for later in the fall, a sign they interpreted as evidence of his desire to run. Members of an unofficial Draft Thompson group slid pro-Thompson fliers under the doors of RNC members and journalists attending the state chairs' meeting here. Wednesday night, they held an information dinner that attracted more than 40 Republican officials, including the state chairs of Oklahoma and California.
At last week's Council for National Policy gathering in Virginia, Thompson was quizzed by Republican activists about the heat of the fire in his belly. Thompson, according to two sources, responded that he understands he'll have to create a conventional campaign apparatus in order to move to the next level.

IBP (In Before Ping) Thanks anyway.
A Bump for Fearless Freddy...
July 4th would be a good pick.
I’ve been saying early June since this started, so I’ll stick with my prediction.
I’m more than ready to see Fred debate.
Ok, who will win American Idol?
Your lips to God’s ears - please add me to your ping list
I hope Fred is in by then. He will be #1 or #2 in the polls a week after he’s in so they couldn’t exclude him on that.
Jordin has more talent in her little finger than beatbox boy has in his entire body!! I can’t believe they kept him over Kiki and Melinda! It’s a popularity contest, not a true talent contest, that’s for sure!
Ditto in Raleigh, NC.
