FRED THOMPSON MAKES IT OFFICIAL

Former Tennessee Senator and perceived Presidential Candidate Fred Thompson as this post is being written is announcing to his top donors and 800 - 1000 campaign workers that he is in the race officially according to the Washington Post

He is also planning an appearance next Wednesday on the Tonight Show with a follow up press conference to make the final official announcement on Thursday September 6 and officially file his papers on that day also.

Many believe that Fred has waited to long to officially get into the race but I disagree and not just because I am a supporter. His move to wait has been compared to the Mohammad Ali rope - a - dope that the heavy weight champ became famous for.

When facing an opponent Ali would lean on the ropes and protect himself with his forearms and hands while his opponent would wear himself out beating on Ali's arms. Then without warning the champ would unleash the famous Ali shuffle and plow into his opponent for victory after the other guy was worn slam out.

Many across the nation already tire of the Presidential race and listening to the same thing over and over even in the debates. Thompson has remained clear of the constant public view and when he makes this official he will be news and somewhat a breath of fresh air to the voting public, which should give him a big boost in the polls going into big push before the primaries right after the first of the year.

So for those who have been waiting Fred IS RUNNING!
