Fred Thompson Running on Web PDF Print E-mail

Thompson_0031.jpgFred Thompson has set up a stealth campaign on the Internet because federal election laws and enforcement have failed to catch up with the surge in campaigning in cyberspace. As a result, he is able to promote his positions and raise money through his Web site, all while technically remaining a noncandidate. 

That status enables his “Law and Order” reruns to stay on TV without NBC facing demands from other candidates for equal time and exempts him from the more rigorous rules on reporting donors.  He's not expected to make it official until after Labor Day. See "A Campaign Undeclared but Not Invisible" in New York Times.

He's trying to copy the internet success of Ron Paul. It won't work. He'd better stick with big money and special interests. They're always looking to support candidates like Fred. Maybe Hillary will sell him her donor list. Party lines don't seem to matter to those folks.
