"The 6 6 southern lawyer and former Tennessee Senator, about the only candidate in the race not dependent upon public office for a decent living, threatens liberals and self-styled conservatives alike. He seems to be shaking up Washington politics, even before getting to Washington"
Huh????? The most independent man in this race both financially and politically is Mitt Romney, far more professionally accomplished than Thompson and a true Washington outsider. Unlike Thompson, Mitt hasn't accepted a government salary yet, and isn't planning to even as president.
And furthermore, Thompson isn't going to govern any more conservatively than President Bush or Governor Romney.
So you’re omniscient now?
Does Milt really govern Pro Bono with no Salary?

If Romney were as smart and conservative as you say, he should have run Teddy out of office before seeking the White House...
