Thompson Close to Joining 08 Race?
The Hill is reporting that Congressman Zack Wamp, who is raising support within congress for Fred Thompson’s presidential run, is saying that Thompson will officially join the race soon. I sure hope so!
“My view is that he’ll enter the race at some point just in the coming days,” said Wamp, a key supporter of Thompson. The lawmaker said the actor turned senator turned actor did not want to join the race too soon but is “doing everything a presidential candidate should do.” Thompson has long been expected to join the race and the Law & Order star has traveled the country and raised millions. He will take part in a large fundraising event in Washington,
D.C. on July 29, but Wamp did not say when a formal announcement would come. The lawmaker said, however, that “a couple dozen members” of the House would publicly support Thompson at the event.
