Thompson tells Allen decision on presidential race coming soon
Associated Press - August 22, 2007 11:25 AM ET
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Fred Thompson said on a Richmond radio station today that he's getting very close to announcing whether he will run for president.
The former Tennessee senator and "Law and Order" actor made his comments on a show guest-hosted by another former Republican senator, Virginia's George Allen, on WRVA.
Thompson said everybody seems to be announcing a lot earlier than normal, but he's operating on a more traditional time frame. He says the law allows potential candidates to take some time to get their organization together, raise money and assess public reaction ... and that's what he's doing.
Thompson told Allen "We're not allowed to announce before we announce, but I can tell you that it won't be very many more days before I'll be making a statement on it."
I thought this was going to be on the steps of the Nashville capital on the 4th of July? ;)
OH MONKKKK
Hurry up Fred, this money is burning a hole in my pocket.
color me unimpressed.
The more time goes by, the less likely his run will be.
“”We’re not allowed to announce before we announce, but I can tell you that it won’t be very many more days before I’ll be making a statement on it.”
Rumsfeldian!;^)
I really think he’s letting everyone have their say before he gets into the race. That way, he’s not just one of many. They all blur in the voter’s minds...but Fred will stand out now when he speaks.
It’ll be a book-signing deal. “How I Almost Became President but was too Self-less to accept the Job” by Fred Thompson, forward by Michael Bloomberg.
It will not be long now!!!!!!!......”October Surprise”!!!!!!!!!..........

Thompson will announce his candidacy in December, 2008
He looks like Kelsey Grammer in that pic : )
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Maybe he’ll announce at Zach Wamp’s annual Labor Day BBQ on Sept 3
The locale has been moved to a different place for the first time in 12 years...from a public park to a private farm...
:)
