Popular Tennessee radio talk show host Steve Gill fires up the crowd at the first "Draft Fred Thompson 2008" rally, which was held in Cookeville, Tennessee on Saturday, April 28, 2007. Gill is also known for his basketball playing days at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. The rally brought out at least 300 supporters from at least ten states at the starting time of 3:30. In the next two hours, a total of 500 people showed up and encouraged the former Tennessee senator to run for President in the 2008 elections. When the event was first planned, only about 200 were expected to show up without Thompson being there. The Senator was not there. Thompson is already a factor in this race, although he has yet to announce his intentions.
