Fred Thompson is officially getting into the race:
"The veteran actor and former senator and lobbyist is declaring his presidential ambitions in a 15-minute Web cast early Thursday."
With more than a bit of chutzpah, too:
"Just to make sure no one misses it, he is airing a 30-second ad on Fox News Channel during Wednesday night's broadcast of a Republican presidential debate from New Hampshire - which Thompson is skipping."
Self-confidence, and a willingness to ignore conventional wisdom. Now THAT'S Reagan-esque.
UPDATE: Fred was on The Tonoght Show last night and said he was in. Glenn Reynolds over at Instapundit has a roundup of videos and commentary. Thompson's official webcast announcement is here. Money quote: "A govenment that is big enough to do everything for us, is powerful enough to do anything to us."

I paid for that commercial, Mr. "Green"!
Will Mitt accuse him of advocating "Doink Doink" economics?
