A sneak preview of Thompson's campaign
Check out Thompson's new campaign bus.
DES MOINES, Iowa (CNN) - Tucked behind the Wells Fargo Arena in this capital city Wednesday was a sneak preview of what Fred Thompson for President will look like.
CNN photojournalists Bethany Swain and Doug Schantz discovered the Thompson campaign buses that will carry the soon-to-be candidate across Iowa the next two days. The buses were emblazoned with the slogan “United by Our Core Beliefs,” and carry the words “security,” “unity”, and “prosperity.”
The buses are brown, mustard yellow and red...differentiated from the traditional red, white and blue usually seen on the rolling campaigns of many of his rivals.
Thompson’s tour starts in Des Moines after a series of local interviews, and then heads to Council Bluffs with stops in Sioux City, Mason City, Cedar Rapids and Davenport. He then travels New Hampshire, Florida and South Carolina.

Interesting choice of colors for the buses.
Lemmesee, brown for the crap Fred will be spreading around, yellow for the chicken**** way he has conducted himself so far and his refusal to debate Michael Mooore or anyone else for that matter, and red for the herrings that he will substitute for real issues.
Mitt's looking better every day.
Wasn't Fred Thompson the guy that played Boss Hogg on Dukes of Hazard?
He should campaign around the country in that cool 70's convertible caddie, with the steer horns on the hood. It will go well with the trademark cigar and white cowboy hat he has used since he first appeared on the show.
Boss Hogg For President!!!
Time to insert the fork.
This one is done.
Tonight the real election begins!
Vote Fred Thompson 2008 and 2012!!!
Why would America need a sneak preview to a rerun?
Greg's right. That bus even looks like a baked potato.
GO Fred Go – But in those senior moments, just don't forget what your running for!
Of course, Fred will be running his campaign with a written script. Well, at least this GOP guy can read and talk, unlike the current resident in the Oval Office.
Brown, mustard yellow and red campaign buses . . . sounds like he's using the Oscar Meyer Weiner-mobiles. How appropriate for a hotdog like Fred.
Did they get any parts off of John McCain's Straight Talk Express?
The wheels have already fallen off.........
