Well said. I'd like to add that Rudy is also too much of a nanny-stater for more libertarian-minded Republicans to support. Thompson is somebody both the religious-right types and libertarian-types can like, and he won't scare away moderates or swing-voters. He's eloquent and charismatic and has far less baggage than anybody else in the race.
