I don’t think he is going to make a formal announcement for a couple of weeks. It is because of campaign fund reporting rules or something. I don’t care about the details, obviously. I am waiting patiently, sort of. I feel that Fred will sweep the nation like Reagan did. But, that isn’t to say he is Reagan, Fred is definitly his own person.

I think there are two reasons why Fred Thompson is so popular here and in other conservative forums: 1. The activists are attracted by what they think he will stand for and do, compared to the other candidates, and 2. if his campaign proves to be successful, the more chance the American people have of getting some sanity back in the political process.

Just think, if he is nominated, without all the spending and early campaigning, maybe we can move the primaries back to a sensible campaign season.

So far he hasn't spent a penny, and yet he's climbing in the polls. Of course, there hasn't been an actual vote yet, so concrete results be different. Let's hope he doesn't disappoint his supporters by turning out to be human with a range of views and positions that differ from theirs, after all the build-up.
