I’m sure I’ll be flamed for saying this (sigh! I’m not looking for conflict, really) but I have to say that Thompson’s missing the debate AND airing an ad during the debate just seems like rude and ugly behavior. I don’t like it.

No flames here. But I LOVE IT! Let the rest of the circus do the debate...Fred is putting the spotlight on his candidacy away from the crowd. I love it.

Going to this debate can only hurt him. I think it would be stupid to announce today and debate tonight. He probably wants to build some campaign momentum with his basic message before entering a debate. That will take some time. He can’t start campaigning until he announces, which he is doing at midnight. His ad is only telling folks where they can go to get to know more about him.

I put it in the “I paid for this microphone” category.

Skip the silly show (not a debate) and speak to the people.

I think it's rude and ugly behavior for the other candidates to hold a debate during Fred's ad. I don't like it!

Not necessarily rude. It appears Fred doesn't want to have his message caught up in the fog of so many soundbites the 'debates' have to offer.

In April I said Fred's would be a very different kind of campaign from the past. This is only another indication of that perspective.

Fred will NOT be campaigning the same way as all the rest have done. Look for even more of his message being brought to you by the Internet, and almost daily if I am not mistaken.
