Hours before his official webcast announcement, Fred Thompson announces he is running for President on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
While he was taping the show in Burbank, California, his eight GOP rivals were prepping for Wednesday's debate in New Hampshire, which is being hosted by Fox News.
Thompson said he will "give all I have to give," in his official announcement.
He names his chief opponent: Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. In his 12 minute webcast announcement, Thompson promises he can prevent "another Clinton victory."
"Our country needs us to win next year, and I am ready to lead that effort," Thompson says on his new campaign website, www.Fred08.com.
Will update as soon as they put something up other than a little tiny useless blurb.
