Meanwhile prospective Republican Delegates will be watching the Republican debate, and not Jay Leno. Whose base is Thompson trying to reach? Thompson better start playing to the Republican party.

I guess you haven't realized that the two items are on at completely different times?
Have you considered which format allows for more airtime and has higher ratings?

Until the GOP debates thin out the participant “wheat from the chafe”, they are not much on substance and not worthy of spending much time watching.

Yeah, yeah, Duncan and a couple of others are OK maybe for VP material or cabinet spots, but Cox, McInsane, Hugo Paul etc really have ZERO chance, and unless any have a snowballs chance they need to get off the stage and go to work rebuilding the GOP.

Delegates don't choose, they're chosen. More voters will be watching Leno than any debate this early.
