Well, of course it’s childish, but I couldn’t resist this.  The Politico reports that Fred Thompson will be announcing his official candidacy on September the 6th, to my chagrin.  That’s my freakin’ birthday.

But then, I suspect Derf (that’s Fred spelled backwards) will provide this blog with ample comic-tragic opportunity, so perhaps it is the perfect gift.  They’re running strong already, as  campaign manager Randy Enwright, in an interview with reporters “dropped the bomb” with this little gem:

Enwright also used the call to allay any concerns from Thompson backers that they’ve lost their opportunity in the race. “We think we enter this campaign in a very strong position,” he said. “We’re consistently number two in the polls, with the closest thing to a draft of a candidate in recent presidential campaign history.”

Bwaaa! Hahahahaha!

I’ve been saying for a while now that the hopes of the Republican Party in the 2008 presidential elections are all about the consistency of number two.
