A liberal blogger has filed a federal complaint against former Sen. Fred Thompson, accusing him of violating election laws as he ponders his entry into the race.
The blogger, Lane Hudson, submitted his complaint to the FEC on Monday saying Thompson has raised far more money than he needs to explore whether to run for president.
Federal law allows potential candidates to raise money to travel, conduct polls and pay for other expenses related to “testing the waters” for a political campaign. During that exploratory period, a potential candidate does not have to file financial reports.
Thompson has been hiring staff, opening a headquarters, holding fundraisers and promoting his credentials as a potential White House contender. But he has not said definitively that he’s a candidate for president. He is expected to make an announcement around Labor Day.
Bart says: I remember when he was going to announce on July 4th, too.
Like the rest of the GOP losers, I don’t think Thompson has a chance.
He’s too old and too stupid and he can’t think on his feet.
