Thompson to Announce Sept 6
30 August 2007Thompson supporters have been patiently awaiting the time when he will announce his candidacy for President of the United States. Today he announced when he will announce. The official announcement will come through a webcast from Thompson’s website, ImWithFred.com. Thompson will follow his announcement with a five day tour through Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Additionally, Thompson will have house parties on the 6th all over the country. He will speak via conference call to each of these house parties where supporters can meet each other and better organize.
From the email sent to the Friends of Fred email list:
We enter this campaign in a strong position. Fred is consistently near the top in the polls, and conservatives across the country have put together the closest thing to a draft in recent presidential campaign history in an effort to bring about this day. The next few weeks will only serve to build upon those efforts, with house parties, visits to the early primary states, and a homecoming in Lawrenceburg, TN on the 15th.
To be sure, support for Thompson has been exceedingly high, particularly for a potential candidate who has not announced. Just today, the new GOP Straw Poll (see post below) shows Thompson leading with around 7000 votes to this point. In virtually every poll Thompson is either first or second.
Announcing via webcast could be a stroke of genius. Thompson’s efforts so far have been largely on the internet and by announcing via webcast he is rewarding his early supporters.
By announcing via webcast, Fred is able to take his consistently mainstream conservative message directly to the voters, who are already responding to that message with a strong upwelling of grassroots support. The webcast and the following campaign tour will play to Fred’s strengths, a consistent record of conservatism, his ability to clearly spread his message, and his ability to work with and connect with Americans from all walks of life.
