Fred 2012?

Stephen Hayes discusses the possibility that Fred Thompson is gearing up for another run for the Presidency.

So what’s the bottom line? “Where does all of that lead me–in terms of my country, my family, where we need to go?” he asks. Then he answers his own question. “Some of it will depend, of course, on who wins the election.”

It’s certainly quacking, but is it a duck? Thompson downplayed any suggestion that these moves portend another run for the presidency. “It doesn’t have anything to do with my own ambition,” he says.

Fair enough. It is, of course, possible to do all of these things and ultimately decide not to run for president. But as Thompson can attest, these are the kinds of steps one must take in order to run and have a chance to win.
