By historical standards, Fred is not getting in the race too late.
For the 1960 campaign, JFK did not announce his candidacy until January 2, 1960.
LBJ did not announce until July 5, 1960!

You’ve got to admit that running for office 24/7 beats the hell out of working 9 to 5.
LS sure disagrees with Mr. Thompson’s timing and feels that history means little; it’s a new day. He has some experience in these matters, I guess. We’ll just see what the affect of a Thompson campaign is on that score.
