Thompson is AWOL. Does it matter?

That's the first question. Paul says he welcomes Thompson into the race, saying that T. is pro-war and will therefore dilute the pro-war vote, to the benefit of the traditional, antiwar Republican position. Excellent.

Huckabee was kinda funny in his response to the question of why Thompson wasn't there, but McCain just got a bigger laugh with his crack about it being past Thompson's bedtime. (There seems to be a McCain contingent in the room, too.)

RP makes a great point, and if I was Fred Thompson, I wouldn't show up either.

Fred Thompson pretty much agrees with most of the candidates, outside Ron Paul, so he would most likely be ineffective in a large format debate. And why bother when he is considered a top tier candidate months before he even officially announces? He will definitely steal votes from Giuliani - he has the same (or better) Q rating, and has none of the damage or contraversy.

I also hated how Giuliani said that FDT played "his" character on Law and Order. FDT plays a NYC District Attorney, Giulini was a federal US Attorney who ruined lives through humiliation.
