I’ve been as enthusiastic about Thompson as I can be about any Republican, but this is disappointing, if true:

He voted against them in the Senate. But after touring an ethanol plant in Iowa today, he considers them “a matter now of national security.”

It’s not just the policy that’s a problem but the apparent flip-flop for blatant political reasons. I’d hoped for better from him.

Not a deal killer, but disappointing.
