Fred Thompson is NOT an official candidate until 12:01 AM EDT September 6th.

If he announces on Leno, as it has been suggested, upward to 10 million people will see him do it. The debate, if that's what you want to call it, will have been watched by close to 2 million folks. 10 mil to 2 mil makes sense to me.

The late night shows are usually only watched by about 5 mil each if I remember correctly.

Second, a good chunk of those watching Leno are liberals. The net gain from doing a show like Leno isn’t all that much.

I agree. In order to keep everything kosher with FEC he’ll likely say “At 12:01 AM I will announce my candidacy for President” unless Jay has him on tape to be shown after midnight Eastern then yes it would be an “announcement”

“upward to 10 million people will see him do it.”

Where did you get those numbers? 6 Million is more like it and I still resent Thompson going the way of POP CULTURE~
Jay Leno? What next MTV?
