DES MOINES, Iowa (September 5, 2007) — Fred Thompson — veteran actor, former Republican senator — launched his bid for the presidency Hollywood style.
“I’m running for president of the United States,” Thompson told Jay Leno in a taped appearance on NBC’s “Tonight Show” airing Wednesday.
Thompson also is calling attention to his candidacy with a 30-second ad being broadcast during a Republican debate in New Hampshire that he is not participating in.
He also will explain the rationale for his candidacy during a 15-minute Webcast on his Web site just after midnight.
