It seems pretty clear that Fred Thompson is going to jump into the presidential race -- his departure from Law and Order was probably the biggest sign, along with his increased number of columns and appearances. Now one key supporter, Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, is spreading this word.

I can tell you that Thompson will be making an announcement NLT the first of July. I have had one phone conversation with Thompson and I'm convinced he is getting in the race. Others who have talked to him are also convinced.

I know Jerry Patterson, and find him to usually be a reliable source and astute reader of the political tea-leaves. he wouldn't stick his neck out like this unless it were going to happen.
