Fred Thompson is running!

I got an e-mail two days ago that I was actually excited to receive. Looks like Fred Thompson will be running for President. The e-mail led with this:

On September 6, 2007, Fred Thompson will be announcing his intention to run for President of the United States with a webcast available to millions at www.imwithfred.com. The launch of the video will be followed by a five-day campaign tour through Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. On the evening of the 6th, there will also be a National House Party, during which there will be a conference call with Fred.

I (and my Wife) look forward to Fred's brand of GOP politics joining the national dialog. My personal opinion: He seems like the kind of leadership we need right now and for the future.
