The fact that Thompson is a real conservative, and plain talking, well spoken one at that, overrides his past as a lawyer, though he only practiced for a few yrs. I have no problems at all with lobbyists and place them way above career lawyers and politicians. And at least Thompson didn't catch Potomac Fever and decide to be a lifelong senator. My only problem with him is that he supported McCain-Feingold, which I view as an EGREGIOUS and unforgiveable assault on the Constitution.
