Des Moines, Iowa (AP) --
Republican Fred Thompson, whose entry into the presidential race has been long anticipated, will officially launch his candidacy Sept. 6 in a webcast on his campaign site, followed by a five-day tour of early primary states, The Associated Press has learned.
The preliminary campaign of the former Tennessee senator and "Law & Order" actor is to disclose details about how he will formally enter the race in a Thursday afternoon conference call with supporters.
House parties will be held nationwide on Sept. 6. A tour of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina will quickly follow the Internet announcement on , with later stops in Florida, and a homecoming event in Lawrenceburg, Tenn., on Sept. 15.
On Wednesday, Thompson will appear on NBC's "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" but he won't participate with his Republican rivals in a debate that same night in New Hampshire.

LOL!...great post.
But, as he says, I’ve saved over $50 million so far!
You are correct in the sense that our other Republican "Leaders" are leading the sheep in a circle. Fred Thompson knows exactly what it takes to win the nomination and the presidency. You probably felt that Mohammad Ali's strategy of "rope-a-dope" also was not leadership. Ali also knew exactly what it would take to beat his opponents. Stand by and watch Fred eliminate one opponent after another.
That'll go over the head of some here on this thread.
You can rant. You can doubt the truth of his conservatism. I’m not going to argue with you either way on that. No passion to do so. haven’t even made up my mind on it yet. But at least keep the rant centered in reality.
There’s only one candidate that has Hannity’s loyalty and that’s Rudy.
Fred raised more money than Rudy and others in their testing the waters phase.
The so-called Sunday morning chatter is by a bunch of know-nothings.
LOL!
All the critics keep saying, "when is Fred going to announce".
So Fred says he's going to announce on Sep. 6th and the new criticism is, "who cares when he announces".
Not a rant when it is words from his own mouth.
Does a groundhog seeing his shadow change the weather?
Yep. Rudy announced on Hannity.
What, no quip about the wife been a whore or a tacky dresser tossed in.
My Sheena, you are slipping there dear.
Get some rest...
LOL!
Did you make that up all by yourself?
And you just know that these losers will be back online on the 6th faking yawns on every thread about the announcement. LOL
Naw, I heard it from a RINO named FRed.
You noticed that also huh...
It’s like watching the last desperate gasps of a wounded animal. It will all be over soon...
RINO!
Fred Thompson?
The guy who wants to make sure we don’t have Marriage or Pro-Life Amendments?
Huh.
I read the first debate that Fred is scheduled to participate in is the PBS debate in Michigan — Morgan State University — on September 27.
I think Fred will surge in the polls at the beginning, and it’s anybody’s guess if he will maintain the surge.
So would a lot of people. Fred best watch out, he wouldn't want Manchester Union-Leader set him up an empty lectern.
