Thompson Hunts for a Red November

Check out this article from ABCnews online about unofficial candidate Fred Thompson.

Without raising a single campaign dollar or giving a single stump speech, Thompson threatens to knock one or more of the 2008 candidates out of the top tier — and his 6-foot 6-inch frame will crowd out long-shot candidates who hope to emerge as the choice of social conservatives.

Thompson is moving toward announcing his candidacy in early July, according to two Republicans close to Thompson.

He plans to file paperwork June 4 with the Federal Election Commission that will allow him to begin raising money for a potential bid, and associates say he wants to start his campaign with a fundraising splash that will demonstrate his status as a viable candidate.
