Thompson is the ONLY man for the job. If I were him I would also choose Leno over UNH debates, not only is it too earlly to seriouslly debate, it is foolish to give up an opportunity to get votes from TV and to make the official announcment there asd well. Small minds would disagree.
- Mike, Lee, NH
I really think I could make better decisions than Thompson's staff. It is foolish to snub the voters of NH by avoiding this debate.
- Liz, Atlanta, Ga
Sounds like we have a coward trying to run. Can't face the real Opponents so he has to avoid the debates. Hope he realizes the people in NH are not foolish enough to fall for his Political cowardliness, and see the real issues that he Obviously can't contend with, Otherwise he would be in the debate. This man has Looser written all over him. So far Mike Huckabee seems to be the most honest and capable.
