Barring a Hunter surge Thompson is the most conservative of the front runners. Thats enough for me. If establishmentarian George Will wanted to write a similar article on Rudy or Romney it would have to be a 6-parter

Yeah, I do like Hunter but it's not going to happen.

As I have said before, George Will has delusions that he's Tom Wolfe. He is not. He's a wannabe who wishes people thought he was urbane and yet one with "the little guy" but as you point out he's boringly lame in the Rockefeller Republican (i.e. liberal republican) tradition. He's a countryclubitarian.

I guess Thompson’s blood just isn’t blue enough for Will.

establishmentarian George Will

A polite way of (correctly, IMHO) calling George Will a moderate / liberal.
