I really don't think he waited too long to join the race. I believe - rather - that the other candidates started campaigning too early (it's unusual to start campaigning as early as most of the other candidates have). Furthermore, it is in my opinion that the ones who started early will get burned out, and Thompson will eventually move to the top.

Anyhow, this race has a long way to go yet, and is far from over.

No matter how you look at it - it's been a long hard year for us conservatives, and we needed some good news.
