Fred Thompson running for president

We have been saying this since he publicly revealed his Lymphoma....

Fred Dalton Thompson is planning to enter the presidential race over the Fourth of July holiday, announcing that week that he has already raised several million dollars and is being backed by insiders from the past three Republican administrations, Thompson advisers told The Politico.

Thompson, the "Law and Order" star and former U.S. senator from Tennessee, has been publicly coy, even as people close to him have been furiously preparing for a late entry into the wide-open contest. But the advisers said Thompson dropped all pretenses on Tuesday afternoon during a conference call with more than 100 potential donors, each of whom was urged to raise about $50,000.


Update: Intrade has him highest ever...

Guliani 25.6 -1.1

Romney 23 no change

Thompson 26.9 +4.9

McCain 18.5 -1.4
