I just wanted to check in with you: You told us repeatedly over the summer, as you posted as much anti-Thompson material as you could, that, hey, Thompson is your #2 choice. Using the “fish or cut bait” scenario, Hunter is going to be cutting bait very soon. Is Thompson still your #2? Will we be seeing your pro-Thompson posts, or are you going to flip flop?
