...Close friends of Fred Thompson say his wife Jeri is urging him to take the plunge later this year and run for the Republican presidential nomination.
The former senator from Tennessee and current actor on "Law & Order," in private conversation, makes it clear that he is seriously interested in launching a candidacy that has attracted extraordinary attention over the last two weeks.

You're going to trust the same guy who instigated all the BS that became known as 'Plame-Gate'?
Novak is to trustworthy journalism what e.coli is to an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Watching "workers" over the years it has been my experience
that "fireballs soon burn out" but "steam rollers just
keep on rolling"

If the wife wants him to run, he's in. I think he needs to work behind the scenes for a few more months getting organized and finishing his commitment to Paul Harvey. Then, jump in with a big splash.

LOL... That seals it for ME, too!

He worked too hard!
