Why Hasn't Fred Announced Yet?

Earlier this summer, Fred Thompson set the conservative political blogs wagging about his potential run for the White House in 2008. Pundits were ecstatic about his mix of folksy Southern roots (He drives a pick up truck!) and Hollywood acting chops. It was as if Reagan himself had risen from the grave and resurrected the hopes and dreams of conservative America with him.

Unfortunately for his camp, Fred couldn't capitalize, and now we are still playing the 'will he or won't he game.' Granted, we still have 4 months before the primary season starts, and over 14 months before the general election; however, I still find myself wondering what the hold up is.

Pajamas Media takes a look at the political pressure on Fred to get in the game already.
