Testing the waters?

I know some of you don't like it when I post about political matters, but oh well...

As I've said previously on my blog, Fred Thompson is my boy when it comes to the 2008 presidential election. He's the man. However, I don't know how I feel about the way he is raising money for the presidential race. Right now, he's officially using a "testing the waters" clause of the FEC, however, it seems clear that he is actually campaigning and will enter the race. He just hasn't made it official yet, because, quite frankly, there's no real reason to. Everyone is polling him and treating him as if he is already in the race. This allows him to not have to post the $$$ that he has raised, and where it came from, during this entire quarter, because he isn't "officially" a candidate. This doesn't seem fair to me, particularly to the other Republican candidates.

Am I being nitpicky?

lol. I think we all like Fred Thompson...I guess it depends on what he is actually doing with the money.
