Fred Thompson

Fred Dalton Thompson (born August 19, 1942) is an American politician, lawyer, and actor. He was a senator from Tennessee until 2002, and then got into acting in film and television. Currently he is seeking the presidential nomination of the Republican Party for the 2008 election. He is married to Jeri Kehn Thompson.

After a very late start, Thomspn surged in the polls in September 2007. Critics and friends complain of his very slow pace in campaigning, and his support fell by mid-December to about 10%.
