President Fred? (Part deux)
As we reported last month, several prominent GOP activists are urging former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson to enter next year's Republican presidential primaries. The Knoxville News-Sentinel's blog has an update:
"Fred Thompson, the former Tennessee Republican senator who's now a Law & Order prosecutor and regular replacement for radio host Paul Harvey, is being urged by supporters to consider entering the presidential race, according to associates.
"'The draft Fred movement is growing,' says one ally. They say that Thompson is flattered by the suggestions, but it is unclear if he is turning away their appeals. The effort is growing among conservative blogs, where several boards are pushing the folksy straight-talker to get in."
