Thompson Train Picking Up New Passengers
The "Draft Fred Thompson 2008" campaign is still gaining steam. There are now over 4,000 committed volunteers in all 50 states that are ready to give their all to make sure that Fred is the next President of the United States. The organizers believe that they may have as many as 10,000 volunteers signed-up soon.
Bumper sticker requests are pouring into Nashville at an astounding rate.
I have spoken to a few more people this week that are/were close to Fred, many of them former members of his staff. It seems to be split 50/50 on the issue of whether or not Fred will run or not. The interesting thing, though, is that those who think he will run are adamant, passionate about their position, while those who don't think he will run are reluctant to say that there is no way that Fred would run and tend to hedge their bets.
I've started to come around over the course of the past few weeks. I didn't think we'd be seeing Fred Thompson's name on the ballot in the primary - even if I longingly wanted it there - but I'm starting to believe that the likelihood of a Thompson candidacy is great.
