Has Fred Thompson lost the mojo?

Fred Thompson is evidently going to announce his intent to run for President on September 6th. Despite the previous rumors about the Fourth of July and Jay Leno's show, I'm inclined to believe this is it, as he was quoted saying he'd like to run a more traditional campaign, announcing the fall before the election and he needs to start building a presence in Iowa, South Carolina, and New Hampshire.

That- and they just flat out told me in an email:
Dear Friends,

On September 6, 2007, Fred Thompson will be announcing his intention to run for President of the United States with a webcast available to millions at www.imwithfred.com. The launch of the video will be followed by a five-day campaign tour through Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. On the evening of the 6th, there will also be a National House Party, during which there will be a conference call with Fred.
Yawn. Same stuff everytime.

So what does this mean for the GOP? Frankly, I've lost the Fred-zy. I'm not sure it matters. I don't know that he's got enough mojo now...
