Why in the world “must” he be in or out right now? It’s a thing of beauty. He’s becoming more popular each day without being an official candidate. Why mess with success? I think he will be in at the right time. As long as he is doing all the right things behind the scenes (raising money, lining up support and campaign talent) I’m fine with that.

If Thompson gets in, it will change the whole dynamics of 2008 and Democrats know it - and they fear it.

Agreed he is getting more air time not being an announced candidate, as he would if he was already in.

He is playing the media like a fiddle

Good point, when IS the deadline for declaring candacy in the 2008 elections? I would think that it’s not until late this year.

Anyone Know?

Agreed. The Rats know that McCain, Giuliani, and Romney are like Kerry was for them a few years ago, most of us are going to vote for the nominee, but not enthusiastically, and that's what a party needs to win an election, a candidate whose supporters can bring others to the polls.

For me, at this point, Fred would do it.
