makes sense that an actor would want to set the scene for his big announcement (makeup, good lighting, multiple takes if necessary) rather than let the news teams do their thing live. it's safe for Fred.

Yeah, re: web video, I love it that this is now the de rigeur way to say you want to be president. Hillary did it this way, too -- and Obama, I think?Hellooooo 21st century!

On with it already. What's interesting about the Fred Thompson case is that he pre-announces his announcement that is to be made via Web video, shifting the focus to the online world. Could Fred Thompson be the most forward-thinking candidate on the technological front? Thompson himself has said that: "Professional journalists and campaign staffers no longer control the political debate. Individuals can now make headlines and directly influence elections -- though some of the accountability that once existed is gone. Like it or not, things have changed."

But what if his Web announcement is merely alluding to another announcement at a future date that will result in announcing of a labyrinthine announcement that serves as a precursor to the official real-life announcement?
