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.
