Thompson is five points behind Rudy Giuliani among Republicans.

Average.

.



Then he steals a Tennessee Representative - Marsha Blackburn:

Would-be candidate Fred Thompson has stolen his first major backer away
from one of the already-announced contenders.

After endorsing Mitt Romney in January, third-term Rep. Marsha
Blackburn (TN) said in a statement today that she will get behind Thompson if he
gets in he race. Romney had dubbed Blackburn a "senior adviser" when
he announced her support.

He will get a lot more support once he announces.

Run, Fred!, Run
