Finally, Fred

Libby Copeland: STRATHAM, N.H. -- If New Hampshire can offer Fred Thompson some advice, it's that he'd better start spending some time with New Hampshire. New Hampshire has a lot of questions for Fred and it doesn't like to be kept waiting.

Ah! Here he is, finally, pulling up to the farm in a big bus on this Saturday evening, making his way to the stage.

"I understand some people have been looking for me," Thompson tells a crowd of 200 or so folks who are here to eat chili and see the tall, the mysterious, the much-talked-about Fred Thompson. "I'm going to be here early and often."

But wait, Fred. New Hampshire wants to know: Isn't it too late to be early?
