Fred Thompson's advisers are saying that he'll announce his decision to join the Republican presidential race on a Law and Order platformn on the 4th of July. Expect lots and lots of flags at the announcement ceremony. The widely anticipated announcement is sure to throw the Republican race wide open, as conservatives are just not all that thrilled with their current choices.
Lots of comparisons will be made to Ronald Reagan, because they are (were) both very conservative and both actors. There is a lot of talk about how Thompson looks presidential, which I guess he does in a Lyndon Johnson, hound dog kind of way.
But the bottom line is Fred Thompson's views on most things are not all that different than George Bush's, and I suspect that the country, having had its fill of Bush, will be looking for someone who is the polar opposite.
