I've edited the former paragraph concerning the "Republican In Name Only" criticism of former Governor Thompson. The earlier paragraph took the wrong approach to NPOV (namely, the point-counterpoint method of attempting to provide a neutral point of view). The result of that was a paragraph too out of proportion to how important the criticism is in a survey of Thompson's career. It is, after all, simply one instance of the RINO phenomenon and its general thrust is more appropriately handled in that article. Also, "foundation-less houses in hurricanes" isn't quite the bloodless prose one typically finds in an encyclopedia. This isn't pulp reference. Pop Secret 09:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
