kujo Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 He hasn't. But I was under the impression that he'd be doing it the day [b]after[/b] July 4th, out of respect for the holiday. We shall see. Check out [url="http://www.imwithfred.com"]ImWithFred.com [/url]for updates on his campaign and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I was listening to Hannity on the way home from work and he was giddy about some big surprise tonight. It was hinted at during the final minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 It's 3 and a half hours after the concert started. Chances are news of him announcing will come through by 11pm EDT if he announced. It would definitely be the hottest story of the day. If you don't see anything by then, well, he's not announcing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lounge Daddy Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 The danger definitely is F. Thompson postponing an official announce will make him seem reluctant. He really needs to announce soon, or all potential donors and supporters will look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetarplayer Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Politics are so confusing. I hope he announces eventually so I can vote for him. -Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be one thing if he kept resisting the call to run, but he's just toying around with the public now and I think most people are tired of the political manipulation that our elected officials have been using.

Newt has said that he will announce his decision to run this fall, possibly at an anniversary event celebrating the Contract With America. But if waits until then, and he has said that he would, he is not running. Waiting until fall would not leave him enough time at all to raise the money needed to run in a race that has all the primaries taking place right after the first of the year. He would be tryng to raise his campaign money while everybody else woud be starting to really spend it. He would be just beginning his campaign while everyone else's primary campaigns would be in full swing. And Newt knows all this. He is not running. I would bet that Newt will attend some great event and publicly throw his support behind Fred Thompson - if FT ever gets around to actually announcing.

Lounge Daddy Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Just read this... [[url="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/07/11/thompson-eyes-august-kick-off/"]NEWS LINK[/url]] [quote]Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson is [u]now likely to announce his presidential campaign in August, not mid-July as previously envisioned[/u] and will skip the Republican straw poll in Ames, Iowa, people familiar with Thompson’s thinking tell CNN. The campaign-in-waiting is still being put together, and Thompson supporters say they want to have “100 percent” of the staff in place by the time of the announcement. “Expectations are through the roof,” said one source. “We have to match those at every level. . . . We have to be more ready than any of these other guys.”[/quote] Funny thing is, Fred Thompson has been averaging 2nd place in the polls w/ out really spending a dime. Currently: Giuliani 26.7% Thompson 19.0% McCain 16.3% Romney 10.2% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
