I just watched the video of Fred Thompson’s interview with Sean Hannity, and he sounded very much like a man who has already decided he was going to run. Now it just seems like it’s a matter of finding the right time to make it official. Asked what his mindset was, Thompson cited “practical things” such as family considerations and contractual obligations. “You don’t change on a dime, you think you’re going in this direction with your family, and your life, and you go in another direction,” he said. “You take some time. I’m taking this time. I’m talking to some of the smartest people, I think, in this country about some things that are very important to me.” At this point, I’d be shocked if Thompson didn’t run for president.
