While a lot of conservatives are jazzed over the prospect of Fred Thompson entering the race for president, CNS News points out some muddled positions of Thompson's that might cool their jets, including abortion, illegal aliens and campaign finance reform (a.k.a. the Incumbent Protection Act):
He not only voted for, but was a major booster of the campaign finance reform bill that many conservatives believe infringes on free speech. And although he has been a vocal opponent of the Senate's current immigration reform bill, he supported legislation in 1998 to help illegal immigrant farm workers temporarily stay in the U.S.

It's interesting that there are so many Republican candidates who previously supported campaign finance reform. It will be even more interesting to see if their presence makes campaign finance a bigger part of the debate.
