Fred Thompson faces Critics on the Right.

Today must be bizarre headline day.  This headline from Newsmax leads readers to believe that Conservatives have reacted negatively to Thompson’s announcement.  But a reading of the article shows the opposite.  A nice story by NewsMax.  The headline is just a little too misleading for my taste.
