I'm not willing to go that far. I think one big difference between Thompson and Bush is that Thompson thinks in terms of premises and structure, which leaves good outcomes well rooted. Bush thinks in terms of outcome only, so he loses (gives away) a lot of important ground without even knowing he did it. If it works today then he is for it.
Still, Hunter is very very interesting to me and if Thompson (or Hunter for that matter) is weak somewhere, we need to know it before election day.
