Keep in mind that George Will has been a long time—and possibly the most eloquent—critic of campaign finance law. Any possible candidate for president that has previously supported legislation like McCain-Feingold is going to irk Will.
And while I like Fred Thompson, Will is correct to question whether he has what it takes to inhabit the Oval Office. Indeed, such questioning needs to be directed at any candidate, and so far not enough folks on the right are directing it toward Thompson.
