Lots of buzz on this.
Former Tennessee Senator Fred Dalton Thompson may be announcing his presidential candidacy formally at 4:30 pm EDT today. A reliable source close to Thompson's advisors told HUMAN EVENTS that today would be the actual announcement, not the announcement-of-the-announcement rumored earlier.
Thompson's move may have been accelerated by the August 29 editorial in the Manchester, NH Union Leader that said Thompson's failure to participate in the scheduled September 5 debate would be a snub to New Hampshirites.
Whatever motivated Thompson, the September 5 debate - with him in it - would be much more important than it would otherwise have been.
Update: BREAKING: Fred Thompson will announce his candidacy today at 4:30pm EDT
It's official: Fred Thompson will formally enter the Presidential race today, with an announcement to be made at 4:30pm.
For all who have waited for this for months -- here you go.
He's finally putting his money where his mouth is. Word is that he is making phone calls to supporters as we speak.
