Chris Farris is on a conference call with Fred Thompson, where supposedly Thompson is finally announcing his candidacy for President, but a public announcement is still ??? days away.

It took long enough.

[UPDATE] Well, just as soon as I got done writing this post, I saw this over at Politico.com:

Still no official confirmation from the campaign, but Thompson sources now confirm that he will announce his candidacy next Thursday, Sept. 6. The launch will include a tour of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida. As expected, Thompson will not appear at the GOP debate in New Hampshire on Wednesday, Sept. 5.
