John, It’s absurd to say that Thompson hasn’t said or done anything. Since late February, he has said and done a whole lot of things, in radio and TV interviews, in radio commentaries, and in blog writings, including very erudite debates on federalism with NRO’s very thoughtful Ramesh Ponnuru. It is in large part because Thompson has said so much, and said it so well, that he has become a phenomenon of sorts.
