In July, Thompson sidelined his campaign-manager-in-waiting, Tom
Collamore, and watched a few other aides follow him out the door amid
consternation inside the operation about the active role of Thompson's
wife, Jeri.
At the time, aides said former senator and energy secretary Spencer
Abraham and a Florida GOP strategist, Randy Enwright, would take over
the unofficial campaign.
But that turned out to be a temporary solution as the Thompsons sought
a replacement for Collamore, who still is advising Thompson.

Thompson Taps Former Campaign Manager
By LIZ SIDOTI
WASHINGTON -
Fred Thompson on Wednesday tapped the man he credits with saving his
1994 Senate campaign to take over his likely presidential bid.
Bill Lacy, a former strategist for Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and
Republican National Committee, will run day-to-day operations of
Thompson's committee to "test the waters" for a presidential run.
