The city is playing host to the 2007 Midwest Republican Leadership Conference. Last night, we heard from candidates Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.
Saturday night, it's former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson's turn at the podium.
Thompson spent about 20 minutes in a press conference this afternoon.
He would not say when he plans to formally announce his bid for president.
But says many of the issue facing the next president will not be solved by that person alone. "Our problem are to intractable to be solved by the next president, they are too intractable to be solved by one party or one race, we have got to come together in some very important and fundamental things we have to appreciate the national security threat facing this country, I don't think we appreciate the threat of the economic disaster facing this country if we proceed without making some changes in turn of our mandatory spending," Thompson said.

BUT.... Bump! Go Fred Go!
snip:
For a candidate who hasn't officially entered the presidential race, Fred Thompson arrived at the Indiana Convention Center on Saturday sure looking like one who had.Thompson, a movie and TV actor and former U.S. senator from Tennessee, walked into the ballroom with a wide smile. He stopped at some tables to chat with people attending the Midwest Republican Leadership Conference.
He patted people on the back and posed with them for photos.
Thompson hasn't officially declared his candidacy and didn't offer a policy speech. His talk was about a sense of a journey he believes the nation must take to preserve the country for generations to come.
Standing before a huge floor-to-ceiling American flag, Thompson, 65, looked at ease as he stood before 400 to 500 people at the Saturday evening dinner.
OMG! The grammar and style of writing in this article absolutely sucks.
WTHR should be ashamed for letting this out of the newsroom.
That fellow from Minnesota--Mondale (or something like that wasn't it?)--he told the "American People" the truth. He would, he said in effect, have to raise taxes. Did he take a single state in that election? Anyone remember?Thompson doesn't know the "American People can't handle the truth.
Another dud.
