What does that say about Thompson's capability for developing legislation? He was for it, before he was against it?

Ah, the old 'flip-flop' argument. No, Thompson has not flip-flopped. He still strongly favors trying to clean up campaign financing, but he now realizes that McCain-Feingold isn't the right way to do it.

Do I wish he'd have realized this before? Yes. Would I prefer he had come to the conclusion on Constitutional grounds rather than effectiveness (or lack thereof)? Of course.

but he now realizes that McCain-Feingold isn't the right way to do it.

And just weeks ago Hillary was on stage demanding, as President, that she would get do-overs if she made mistakes.

It is flipflopping. It is finger-in-the-wind policy making. Opps. Sorry for CFR; we thought it would work [snicker, yeh right, like McCain didn't know it would favor his presidential run, but the sheeple didn't know that, and now 'I'm again' it!' Honest I am.]
