The dean of the Iowa press corps:
Fred Thompson’s announcement speech Thursday in Des Moines was underwhelming.The former U.S. Senator and movie actor formally announced his long-awaited candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination at the Des Moines Convention Complex. It wasn’t very impressive.
The crowd of a few hundred didn’t seem enthused.If you too would like to be underwhelmed, go see the video of Freddie's speech at Volunteer Voters.
