Glad you posted this. I got this e-mail, too, and was wondering what it could possibly be.

My first thought was another Senate run.

Fred is a great conservative and I supported him while he was running for President. Having said that I also know he has the initiative of a mushroom.

I guarantee that this is somebody elses “endeavor” and Fred is simply on board to give it gravitas. Our friend Fred won't do any heavy lifting.

I gave Fred $400 for his fake Presidential run.

When I got this email I immediately had myself unsubscribed from his mailing list.

I'm tired of Fred and his teasing bullhockey.

Whatever Fred’s “effort” is, you can bet it will be worthwhile.

Well non conservative, and I can only assume you are not conservative from your remarks,most conservatives on FR are on board with McCain right now because of the Palin pick for VP, it was nice to have a real conservative picked, so I don't think any of them, or not many at any rate, will crab to much if Hunter endorses McCain. If he does I bet he is really endorsing Palin. Go McCain/Palin! Oh, BTW, I am a real conservative and am happy now to vote for McCain since he picked a conservative such as Palin!

Fred Thompson, the one-time Republican presidential candidate, endorsed Sen. John McCain Friday, calling on the party to “close ranks” behind the presumed nominee.

“This is no longer about past preferences or differences. It is about what is best for our country and for me that means that Republican should close ranks behind John McCain,” Thompson said in a statement reported by the Associated Press.

He is announcing the start up of FredPAC. Stephen Hayes wrote an article about him and his possible posturing for 2012 at The Weekly Standard on-line.

"will announce a major new effort to ensure that these conservative principles "

A major new EFFORT ... I think he will establish some kind of organization, the way Newt established "American Solutions" with some specific purpose.

After Fred's performance in the primaries, I don't think you can call anything he does "running."

He may be walking for Senate...

I got the same e-mail. Maybe he is going to challenge McCain to a no-holds barred wrestling death match for the nomination. By the way, I wonder when the calls for “Trophy VP” will sound just like the “Trophy Wife” ones for Fred.

Maybe McCain should draft Fred as Secretary of State. I would like to see a hard nose, tough, Secretary of Defense who want the military to kick ass. Not a punk like is SecDef now.

Right about Now would be the time to announce the formation of a breakaway party.
