Fred Thompson has made it semi official. In a conference call to GOP muckety-mucks, he said he is finished testing the waters and ready to file as a real candidate. Not any surprise, since he has been flirting with a real candidacy for months and appearing at the same whistle stops as the rest of the GOP field.
According to polls, Fred throwing his hat in the ring will put him in a three way heat with Giuliani and Romney. As the three Republican front runners pull away from the pack, I have to wonder how long it will be before McCain and Brownback drop their faltering attempts.
Meanwhile, here in Texas a straw poll being held in Ft. Worth has all the also ran candidates, Ron Paul and a couple of other names I have never heard. The front runners are staying away and even the second tier folks like Huckabee are dodging this one.

September 1st is the unofficial kickoff date, in my mind. If he doesn't file by then, he is out of consideration.
