Fred Thompson to Formally Enter Race in July

Published May 30 2007, 03:50 PM by webteam

The Politico is reporting this morning that Fred Thompson will officially become a presidential candidate over the July 4th holiday. His entry will obviously have a profound effect on the GOP race -- an effect that, ironically, is the subject of this week's Tote Board column, written before today but out tomorrow.

The religious right and the far left each have rigorous litmus tests that candidates need fully satisfy to gain their support. The GOP religious right, uncomfortable with the thrice-married liberal Giuliani, maverick McCain and "The Mormon" may rally 'round Fred Thompson who has an 86% approval rating from the American Conservative Union (his voting for the McCain-Feingold funding reform bill cost him points). Romney's candidacy is most at risk as he's flip-flopping like a fish out of water, luring the conservatives who are likely hooked on Old Thompson. So, Fred's announcing his candidacy on the Fourth of July - will it all end with a bang or a whimper?
