Over in the New York Sun, I take a look at what Fred Thompson’s bid might mean for various conservatives who may be, for one reason or another, not happy with the current selection of GOP candidates.

There are those who have noted that as a senator, Thompson’s record was fine, but nothing special; he wasn’t a legislative giant. I wonder if the enthusiasm for Thompson indicates that he’s a gifted communicator – yes, I’ve seen the YouTube of his address at a church the Sunday after 9/11 – and that conservatives of many stripes wish we had a better communicator in the White House right now.
