Former Senator, and former -and once again - Actor Fred Thompson is considering tossing his hat into the Presidential ring.
I have no opinion as to whether Fred is serious about running for President (though I believe he has played one on TV or in a movie), or is just trying to get himself into the VP pool.
While he has the conservative credentials, and the face/name value that would serve him well, I do not think he can realistically compete with Rudy or Mitt Romney for the top spot. He is NOT the next Ronald Reagan, at least in that sense.
He could very well be the next Vice President, though. Combining his previously noted positives, with his Southern roots, would make him a wonderful balance for either Rudy or Mitt.
No change to the official prediction yet, as Fred has not done more than toe the water to this point.
Stay tuned!
