Is Fred Thompson Our Next President?

Actor and former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson hasn't yet announced his campaign for President, but that hasn't stopped him from quickly becoming the early Republican leader in the InTrade prediction markets. In just three months of trading he has passed McCain, Romney and Guiliani in rapid succession:


You can see his rise has been fairly steady and received quite a boost after asking to be released from Law & Order in May and forming an "exploratory committee" in June:


To be perfectly honest I don't know much about Fred's economic policies, though from a quick glance at his blog it looks like he is strong fiscal conservative. All I knew about him before that little bit of research was his stellar performance as Jim Robinson in the "Barbarians at the Gate" made for TV movie . . . but I digress . . .
