Fred Almost Makes It Official

There were lots of rumors today that Fred Thompson was going to make his long awaited "presidential announcement."

In the end, Fred spoke to certain supporters and pre-announced the formal announcement.

Fred will "formally" announce his candidacy via a video on September 6. I know, it was just three days ago that I posted Fred would announce on the 6th. As I posted then, the delay doesn't bothers me. What bothers me is the constant shifting of the date, which makes the campaign look second-rate.

After the release of the announcement video, Fred's campaign launch festivities include a tour of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida.
