John Fund on Fred Thompson

Unless something unexpected happens -- I haven't quite gotten over George Allen's implosion -- it's looking more and more like Fred Thompson is the candidate I could most enthusiastically support.

Regarding Thompson's campaign strategy, Fund writes "Mr. Thompson will run an unorthodox campaign, one that will challenge the conventional wisdom about how to run for president. Even if it proves unsuccessful, it's useful for a candidate to occasionally come along and ask if the rules everybody is following were made for a different time and new approaches are appropriate."

Exactly right.
