Sen. Ted Cruz has deployed advisers to begin scoping out office space for a potential 2016 presidential campaign, a source with knowledge of the move tells U.S. News.

Remember how short a time Fred Thompson was in the race? During that brief moment I raised a little over $40,000 for him.
Doesn’t surprise me at all. And the earlier he gets in the better the chance of keeping fringe candidates out.
