It's not a surprise after Fred Thompson announced his official run for president '08 that his website, Fred '08, was the top visited candidate last week according to Hitwise.

Or you can see the graphical results compared amongst the 4 Republican candidates.
Perhaps it's only an initial, ahem, surge by taking advantage of those who waited long enough to see him make the official announcement did they flock to his new website and that we shouldn't see anything more out of this? Or maybe it was an ingenious plan by Fred to wait until September while leaving the rest of the candidates to argue and bicker amongst themselves for a whole year first? Both Republicans and Democratic candidates.
But like everybody else, it's too early to tell and anything can happen from now til November 2008.
