Fred Thompson has said he is going to run a “new style” campaign, making use of the Internet. In that vein, I think it is interesting that his campaign blog has a blogroll–and that we’re on it.
Also, if you check out his blog, they posted an interview yesterday by Peter Robinson with Senator Thompson filmed at the Hoover Institution. Particularly interesting is a brief colloquy about eight minutes in or so where Peter asks Thompson how he became a conservative, and Thompson mentions reading Barry Goldwater’s “Conscience of a Conservative.” To this day it remains striking to me for how many people Goldwater’s book was a gateway into conservative ideas and the conservative movement.
