Lazy Thompson Skipping Tonight’s Debates
Tonight the Republicans will be debating in New Hampshire and it wouldn’t be a Republican debate without Fred Thompson not participating. While Thompson will not officially be present at tonight’s debate (unlike everybody else) he will be appearing via televised ads in which other candidates will be unable to respond.
It’s a wonderful strategy for Thompson, why be present at the debates when you can still appear at them in commercials? Especially when you are running 2nd in national polls while doing nothing. Besides, Thompson has better things to do, he will be appearing on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight. That’s way cooler than debating Mitt Romney on terror!
Thompson is expected to officially announce his candidacy tomorrow, but who knows, maybe he will announce it in a commercial during tonight’s debate.
