Report: Fred Thompson to announce as soon as today

At least one political rumor site is claiming that Fred Thompson will enter the presidential race today. Even if he does not, it's a pretty sure bet that he will within the week (Sep. 6th, for instance) [edit: it will be Sep. 6th]. This is a late start, but he still has time to recover and become an easy frontrunner.

In any case, Fred Thompson appears to have a good voting record and history on pro-life issues, although the LA Times claims that he hasn't always been so in the past.

LifeSiteNews has three topical articles on this issue:
1] Fred Thompson Declares Pro-life Stance Before National Right to Life Committee (June 19) 2] Pro-life Candidate Thompson Now Leads Republican Nomination (June 20) 3]Abortion Advocates Accuse Fred Thompson of Lobbying for Abortion (July 9)

And just to be clear, I'm not endorsing Fred Thompson as my preferred candidate in any way.
