As Reported By SPR Two Weeks Ago—Thompson Will Enter Race

By Matt Towery

(5/31/07) As we reported to our readers several weeks ago, former Sen. Fred Thompson will announce in the near future the formation of an exploratory committee to seek the GOP nomination for President.

InsiderAdvantage and the Southern Political Report had extensive background discussions with several “ground floor” supporters of Thompson who confirmed weeks ago the Senator’s intention to run.

At that time, we reported that a schedule had already been established for the unveiling of the Thompson effort. The “Draft Thompson” movement, which started in earnest just a few weeks ago, swiftly turned into the foundation for a soon-to-be initial finance committee.

For detailed information and updates on the Thompson effort, look to our daily political news site -- Tennessee Insider (http://www.insidertn.com/). And expect the Southern Political Report team to continue to provide advance information on the Thompson campaign.
