What started as a little speculation is really turning into something it appears:
Rep. Zach Wamp said Monday that former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson is very likely to run for president.
The Third District congressman told the Chattanooga Pachyderm Club, “I had a follow-up conversation with Fred Thompson, and there is a real, real strong possibility that he will run.”
He said Thompson “has to meet some obligations” with the “Law and Order” TV show and with broadcaster Paul Harvey.
He said Thompson has set aside April 18 and will meet with members of Congress. Rep. Wamp said he has already lined up over 40 members who are interested in the Thompson candidacy.
Rep. Wamp said, “These are from some key places like Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia and Kentucky.”
If Thompson does run, which seems increasinly likely, it will be terrible news for Romney, McCain, and Giuliani.

Regan/Actor/President!
That was pretty good, if you think about it long enough!
