Yesterday, Republican Fred Thompson confirmed his campaign for the United States presidential election, 2008. The much expected announcement comes on the tail of criticism about his lobbying past and that he has waited too long to declare his intentions. He is expected to file papers next Thursday to make his candidacy official.
Thompson much expected declarations comes after months of "testing the waters."

According to an advisor, Thompson will make the announcement on Leno opting not to appear at the Republican debate on September 5.
