Check out Fred Thompson

Carol over at Missoulopolis posts a link to Fred Thompson's address to Iowans.

His address reminds us of why so many of us were intrigued and indeed excited about his candidacy. He has really been going at it on the campaign trail recently, and he has been quietly assembling and impressive collection of policy statements and white papers on his website that is perhaps the most substantive of any Republican candidate.

It sure would be nice to see him turn in a surprisingly strong showing in Iowa. He is shooting for no less than second place -- quite ambitious in a state where supposedly only Huckabee and Romney have a chance to win.

We've said it before, but the race just keeps getting more interesting -- may the surprises to come be ones that are pleasant ones for conservatives of every stripe.
