On July 18th, I volunteered to work at a fundraising reception (hosted by the Louisiana Friends of Fred Thompson) at the Hilton Capitol Center in downtown Baton Rouge. And as pictured above, I was even able to rub elbows with (potentially) the next President of the United States.
While Thompson was still reluctant to announce a date for when he will "officially" join the 2008 Presidential race (he's still trying to get his campaign staff in order), he did mention that the traditional time for announcements like that aren't usually until September or October of the year before election:
"Most people say I'm late. But it's the others who are just early."
Here's a gallery of pictures from the evening, including scenes from the mini-speech Thompson made to his supporters.
