Fred in July?
According to The Politico, Fred Thompson will announce his candidacy on July 4th. Choosing such a date certainly sounds plausible for him. What sounds even more interesting is the deliberate and clear statement he made about the proposed immigration bill. He returned to a point he's made before (and that was once part of George Bush's emphasis, too) that "A nation without secure borders will not long be a sovereign nation." Then he put what is becoming a Fred Thompson kind of touch on it by adding, "No matter how much lipstick Washington tries to slap onto this legislative pig, it's not going to win any beauty contests." Perhaps this will all be an interesting and substantive campaign after all.
