Former Tennessee U.S. Senator and Law and Order star, Fred Thompson declared today that he shall formally announce his canddiacy for president on Thursday Sept. 6th. Thompson had been speculated to run sincr April, however he took his time about entering. Thompson said his late entry would not effect his involvement in Iowa or NH or any of the early contests. Thompson comes in as the race for the GOP nomination becomes heated. Right now frontrunners Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney lead with John McCain struggling to catch up. Sen. Thompson's numbers have lagged in recent days, but he still should perform well. many wonder whther he will be able to catch Romney and Giuliani is fundraisiing since they have a 6 month head start on him. Thompson's late entry does hurt his chances since he is now at a month low in national polls.
