Former Tennessee Senator Fred Dalton Thompson may be announcing his presidential candidacy formally at 4:30 pm EDT today. A reliable source close to Thompson's advisors told HUMAN EVENTS that today would be the actual announcement, not the announcement-of-the-announcement rumored earlier.
Thompson's move may have been accelerated by the August 29 editorial in the Manchester, NH Union Leader that said Thompson's failure to participate in the scheduled September 5 debate would be a snub to New Hampshirites.
Whatever motivated Thompson, the September 5 debate - with him in it - would be much more important than it would otherwise have been.
More details about the campaign and about FDT’s early touring schedule will be posted on ImWithFred.com shortly.
Cavuto just announced he will decrare on Sept 6
In preparation, I ate an earthworm.
So I’m sitting here with baited breath...
Declare that is.

*groan*
My, you do have a way with words...
"Mr. Conservative Hero" will continue to disappoint you I am sure.
Willard is his real name? get outta here! Wasn't Willard a rat?
I can’t quite explain it, but I’m not real comfortable with this.
Very sorry to hear about your Dad. And welcome.
Drudge Report is saying he’s going to announce on Leno. Gosh I hope not...anyone IMHO who announces their candidacy for the President of the United States on Leno is just no different than any of these other bozo candidates. The job is too serious, the office is too serious to be treating it so light-heartedly on the late night entertainment circuit. I expect a whole heck of a lot more out of our presidential candidates-—WHOLE LOT MORE! This is too serious of a matter any more to have it turned into late-night musings for the likes of Leno, Letterman, etc.
CNN is reporting that FRed will announce at Midnight 9/6/07. WTF?
That’s very disappointing. Fred needed to be in New Hampshire next week.
We'll wave as we go by.
“I can’t quite explain it, but I’m not real comfortable with this.”
Would you like a pillow, dear?
Never worked a campaign before, have you.

No obligation is imposed under this subsection upon any licensee to allow the use of its station by any such candidate.
Ya’ see, that’s what happens when you trust those darn bus schedules.
Wow, you’re a mature one.
Would you care to explain your comment?
Isn't the adjective form "stagnant"?
(We might as well settle this while we're waiting for Fred to make a decision.)
