Peggy Noonan worked for Reagan and Bush I. Now she writes for the Wall Street Journal and is one of our smartest observers of politics. Her Opinion Journal article today about Fred Thompson's "stealth" campaign for the Republican nomination is excellent. If you find Thompson at all interesting, you'll enjoy her largely positive analysis.
Stephen F. Hayes is a senior writer for the Weekly Standard. His views of the Fred Thompson phenomenon are much like those of Noonan, cited above. Hayes views Fred's approach as the next evolutionary step in Internet-based campaigning.
