I got this email from a conservative writer who asked to remain anonymous ...
I totally agree with your take on Thompson. The last candidate with a resume this thin was John Edwards. Although a lawyer Thompson tends to get every legal issue wrong-campaign finance reform, affirmative action, tort reform, etc. He was entirely AWOL over the alst few years when others have been fighting for party and country. I think he is the conservative Obama. I'm not a McCain supporter but there is simply no comparison between the two. I'm a Romney critic of the first order and even he has better credentials. What is more, Thompson lacks any cross over appeal that Rudy or McCain might have so in the end he is a loser for the GOP. But he is good in those TV shows.
