As a late entry into the crowded, expensive, presidential campaign, Fred Thompson's first big test of viability will be his ability to raise money quickly.
A major part of the former Tennessee senator's strategy is a heavy reliance on the Internet to get his message out and to raise funds. He is also trying to tap into the large number of well-heeled Republican financiers who have yet to commit to a 2008 hopeful, amid widespread disaffection among party loyalists with the current field.

OK, so where do we send the checks? I read somewhere he starts accepting contributions to his exploratory committee today.
Nah, I heard his official website is coming up today.
Nothing personal to the good folks running the draft movement, but I want to give to Fred directly. Ready to do it today too.
It’ll be interesting to see how many Hollyweird closet conservatives will be willing to out themselves to support Thompson’s run.
I heard on the radio this morning from those attending the Saturday’s King County Republican covention (greater Seattle area), that in a straw poll conducted at the convention, Fred had 89, his closest opponent had 39, which I believe was Romney.
He could get a sizeable amount of cash from that Hollyweird crowd.
All the other candidates are gonna dry up and blow away........
With good reason.(Hunter, and Romney excepted)
C'mon Fred, my checkbook has been open so long waiting for you I'll have to blow off the dust before writing you a check :)
Understand - here again - we’re all waiting....
Same here- hand poised over the checkbook.
I hope he doesn't hold his breath on that one...
Yep, same here. Tennessee FredHead fingers twitching to write him a check.
My position exactly. I'm looking for the real thing. I would love to give on the first day.
