In my favorite move of politics it has been leaked that the Thompson campaign will hold a conference call at 4 p.m. today to announce that he will make his official announcement on September 6th.

I honestly think Thompson would have done himself a great favor in just announcing and moving on awhile ago BUT with all the changes in the pre-campaign it is a good sign that they were not ready and were better off not just rushing in. So, yeah, I contradicted myself there.

Update: Well Red State is reporting that Thompson will make his announcement TODAY at 4:30 and they have big flashing red DrudgeReport lights surrounding the post. So it MUST be true.

We will see, today, tomorrow, next week, whatever.
