Another Day, Another Declaration

So, will Fred Thompson officially enter the race for the Presidency this coming week? That's the latest rumor to come down the pike. Everyone knows he's going to run. Polls are already including him among the candidates even as he hasn't officially declared himself a candidate or participated in the debates.

He's currently benefiting from the fact that he isn't officially in the race.

I've been saying for some time now that the race began way too early and that most people aren't engaged in the process. Those declared candidates are already spending money to stay relevant and working on their operations rather than biding their time to enter later in the year when candidates traditionally announced.

To me, this doesn't change the composition of the field much as most candidates have already factored him into the equation.
