Fred Thompson, the actor and former Tennessee senator whose flirtation with a presidential bid has frustrated some supporters, will file papers to officially enter the race next Thursday, his campaign manager told key backers this afternoon.
"Fred is definitely is going to make the race," campaign manager Bill Lacy told members of the Thompson campaign's national finance team in a conference call. "We are in this race to win." Lacy said Thompson will also announce his campaign on a webcast next Thursday. After that he is expected to visit Iowa Sept. 7, New Hampshire on Sept. 8 and 9, and South Carolina after that. There will also be events Sept. 13-15 in Florida and Tennessee, Lacy said.

One side benefit to Fred entering in September is that it pushed any potential Newt entry into October.
“Damn this is gong to be more fun than a gaggle of Ron Paul supporters...”
ROFL
From Wikipedia on Warner:
...Warner was among ten GOP Senators who voted against the charge of perjury during Clinton's impeachment (the others were Dick Shelby of Alabama, Ted Stevens of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Olympia Snowe of Maine, John Chafee of Rhode Island, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, Jim Jeffords of Vermont, Slade Gorton of Washington and Fred Thompson of Tennessee). Warner and others who voted against the article angered many Republicans by their position. However, unlike Snowe, Collins, Specter, Jeffords and Chafee, the rest of the Republicans voted "guilty" on the second article.
And so it begins. Let’s see what he’ll do.
:::::::
He must now go after the Clinton, Inc. crime machine. And expose the witch for everything she is and would do. This needs to be a clear defeat for the criminal, socialist left.
That is exactly what Newt wanted. Yup, he is gonna ride in on a white horse.
May the best man win...
Interesting. BTTT!
Agreed. May both men do their very best.
>> Both Warner and Fred Thompson ... voted against the impeachment of President Clinton.
>> ... unlike Snowe, Collins, Specter, Jeffords and Chafee, the rest of the Republicans voted “guilty” on the second article.
Apparently you missed the last line of your own post. Thompson voted Guilty on the second article of impeachment.

My 08 Bumper sticker is going to read: NO MORE CLINTONS!
Half-truths are lies.
Don't be a liar.
>> Yup, he is gonna ride in on a white horse.
Gingrich is a smart guy, but a complete irrelevancy when it comes to Presidential politics. Right now, he’s just got too much of a notorious history to be a viable Presidential nominee. He’s the Republican version of Hillary Clinton ... right down the line on the issues, but not terribly electable.

I agree with your #33 completely.
Yep. Definitely maybe.
My, there’s commitment personified.
BTTT!
Huh? Someone has a pleasant personality and that is considered creepy?

Actually they didn't vote against impeachment. The impeachment vote was taken in the House of Representatives. The impeachment trial was conducted in the Senate. At that point, nobody could vote for or against impeachment as the vote had already been taken to impeach clinton. Warner and Thompson both voted against CONVICTION on the first article, and both voted Guilty on the second. In my opinion the perjury charge was the blatant open and shut article that should have warranted a guilty vote, but then again I did not have the opportunity to sit in the Senate and hear the case tried. Thompson has explained why he voted the way he did in the impeachment trial, and his explanation was satisfactory as far as I'm concerned. It showed that he took his duty and oath seriously to evaluate the case and vote based on the merits rather than on partisan politics. Clearly the democrats in the senate did not do so on either article.
