FRED THOMPSON UPDATE:
Fred Thompson will run, advisers say
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.
Thompson's formal announcement is planned for Nashville. Organizers say the red pickup truck that was a hallmark of Thompson's first Senate race will begin showing up in Iowa and New Hampshire as an emblem of what they consider his folksy, populist appeal.

thanks for the dose of optimism Marie!
OOOOOHHHH RAHHH! Go Fred!
Conservatism makes a leap forward in the Presidential run on July 4th!
Thompson is tracking third here in SC behind McCain and Ridu unannounced. McCain 32% Rudi 24% and Thompson 20% . The rest of the field including Romney is tracking in small single digets
I imagine that will get a huge surge in July when he announces if not before.
RUN FRED RUN.!!!!
