It's a sad truth but most people know Fred Thompson from the television drama Law and Order fewer know him as a former senator from Tennessee.
Senator Thompson has been a consistent conservative in his views despite his stints in Washington, Hollywood, and New York.
As Matt mentioned this morning TheHill is reporting today that he is investigating the funding possibilities for a presidential run. Red State is reporting on the "Draft Fred" effort.
On thing is certain, were he to run he would almost immediately ignite broad-based conservative support. Something that Romney, McCain and Giuliani have failed to do.
Iowa is 10 months away, with money, and organization who knows what could happen...
One thing is certain... he already has the best voice of all the nominees. Remember that video he narrated at the RNC in 2004? It still give me chills...
