Fred Thompson Called Out

Fred Thompson has been "testing the waters" for weeks, operating officially as a non-candidate but seeming very candidate-like indeed. Trips to New Hampshire. Speeches. Even a howdy at the Iowa State Fair. Now it may have caught up to him.
"He has been presenting himself as a candidate for President, he has been raising large sums of money beyond what would be required to explore a possible candidacy..."
According to a financial report filed with the Internal Revenue Service late last month, Thompson had raised nearly $3.5 million and had spent $625,000. Thompson must raise money within federal contribution limits and report it to the FEC once he becomes an official candidate.
