As this article points out there has been increasing talk in Republican circles of former actor and Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson throwing his hat in the ring for the 2008 presidential race. Thompson is well known for his role on TV's "Law and Order" and he also starred in the Hollywood blockbuster "The Hunt for Red October". Let's see, a conservative Republican former actor runs for president...remind you of someone? It might be a stretch, but in a Republican field led at this point by "Rudy McRomney", many in the party are desperate for a 'real' conservative to step forward. Could Fred Thompson be their new Ronald Reagan?
