Forums: Fred Dalton Thompson Board: What do you think Fred Thompson's chances are to win the Republican nomination?

Fred Thompson is exploring a possible campaign to become the Republican nominee in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. He is widely known through out the country. He served as a U.S. senator and he was also a legal advisor on the Senate Watergate Committee in the 1970s. He is perhaps most famous for his television and movie appearances. He plays District Attorney Arthur Branch on the various Law & Order series and he has appeared in numerous movies, including The Hunt for Red October.

What do you think his chances are at winning the nomination? He is getting a late start but with his experience and visibility, that shouldn't be too much of a barrier. He has strong support from GOP activists as well.
