It may be news, but it's not exactly a surprise: Fred Thompson, who has been running a campaign for president without running a campaign for president for months now, is expected to make it a little more official this afternoon. The Washington Post's Michael Shear says Thompson will tell supporters and party officials that he's in during a conference call at 4 p.m.
An official announcement could come as early as Friday -- just in time for the Labor Day weekend -- and the requisite "Tonight Show" appearance is on the books for next week.
War Room is written and edited by Alex Koppelman, with contributions from Salon reporters around the country.
It's a historic day, indeed
