Frank Luntz took a moment on Fox to point out this exchange as that moment that we all remember. It was very popular with his focus group, and he added that some in the group applauded even though they werent live in Iowa.
Its going to resonate.

Well, I’m not so sure it was as bold as Keyes demanding not to be skipped, but what the hay.

Thompson came off with three to five hilarious one-liners sure to have won anyone but Tancredo, Hunter and himself the debate, if spin werent king.

Anyone who says he is lacksadaisical or boring to the point of sleep needs to see how he handled himself today. I watched as a few other candidates began to raise their hands until Fred said he would not raise his hand. The others then applauded and acted like ..yeah what he said.
Fred was great today.

From NRO’s Campaign Spot,
FRED THOMPSON
Fred Thompson’s ‘I Paid for This Microphone’ Moment
When Thompson refused to do the show of hands, Frank Luntz’s dial-meter spiked. When he asked for a minute to explain his views, and when he refused to answer without time to explain his views, his numbers spiked again.
Luntz says the dial-meter folks not only liked it, they applauded.

“Keyes demanding not to be skipped, but what the hay.”
Keyes needed to skip the debate entirely. The mute button came in handing when he spoke.

Apparently she asked them to raise their hands if they believed global warming is a problem and Fred refused. Good for him! He has already said that he thinks the debates are like a bunch of trained seals waiting for a fish to be thrown at them. As run by liberals, they’re pitiful.
I missed the debate...dang it...will have to catch a rerun.

It was a slimy set up question such as -When did you stop beating your wife?
Fred was superb with his answer- and funny to boot.

It was a question about which candidates believed “global warming” was a problem. I think.

Now, Fred needs to work his ass off in Iowa the next couple of weeks and move ahead of Romney there. If he can get into second-place, he can win South Carolina and can win the nomination.
