If Fred Thompson is going to enter the race, he really needs to get in soon. I can understand waiting a bit to let some of the current candidates beat each other up a bit, but waiting too late could make it difficult to make up the head-start.
“If Fred Thompson is going to enter the race, he really needs to get in soon.”
Let not your heart be troubled. After hearing him on a few different interviews I am convinced he will run. There are some contractual issues he needs to work out first, namely the Law & Order TV show. The last show is the last week of May. If he announces too soon the show could be forced not to cancel the last show. Expect him to jump in mid June.
