According to U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp (R-Tenn):
“I had a follow-up conversation with Fred Thompson, and there is a real, real strong possibility that he will run.”
He said Thompson “has to meet some obligations” with the “Law and Order” TV show and with broadcaster Paul Harvey.
He said Thompson has set aside April 18 and will meet with members of Congress. Rep. Wamp said he has already lined up over 40 members who are interested in the Thompson candidacy.
Rep. Wamp said, “These are from some key places like Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia and Kentucky.”
The timing in April sounds about right. At that point, he will be finished with his gig substituting for Paul Harvey and he will more than likely be finished filming “Law & Order” for the season.

I think Fred Thompson would be a great candidate. Anyone who can be elected District Attorney of New York with that accent and those conservative principles can be elected anywhere, to any office.
Let’s see…
Actor/President/
Reagan/Actor/President!
That was pretty good if you think about it long enough!
