I’ll tell you what: If you see any evidence of Fred Thompson, the Father of CFR, changing his position vis a vis that subject, and making it clear that he understands how anti-Bill of Rights his legislation was, you let me know, okay?
All I’ve seen so far is him admitting straight out that he’s lost the political and ideological debate.

Agreed!

Then common sense and reason tells me that he would naturally have to reverse his position. He's too smart to enter the race and do otherwise.

The Father of CFR?? Then why isn’t his name on the bill? I oppose the bill, too, and I consider it a rare lapse of judgement in Thompson’s otherwise excellent record — but you’re still overstating the case.
Fred was even responsible for one of the only positive things in McCain-Feingold — he successfully fought McCain and most democrats for an amendment to substantially raise the individual hard money limits and index the limits to inflation. Here is the link to the votes where McCain and friends tried unsuccessfully to table/kill Thompson’s amendment:
