Fred Thompson: The Small-Government Candidate

This is quite reassuring when it comes to considering the potential candidacy of Fred Thompson. Again, it ought to be noted that Thompson's support of McCain-Feingold is a black mark as far as small-government types are concerned, but one hopes that Thompson will travel the road to Damascus on that issue. As for his stance on other issues, it couldn't be better from the standpoint of most small-government conservatives. If Thompson works to make himself a forceful presence in the contest for Republican primary and caucus votes and if he highlights his small-government record, those who are dissatisfied with Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, John McCain and their stances on various issues of the day will quickly gravitate to Thompson's candidacy.
