>I imagine the MSM is mortified by the possibility of a Thompson run :) A debate between Thompson and Hillary would be tantamount to manslaughter....<
The MSM has not ignored Thompson. Even Fred Barnes left Hunter's name off his list in his recent talk with Laura Ingraham.
Laura had interviewed Hunter, but Thompson's interview was repeated Saturday morning and he hasn't even entered the race! So even the so-called conservative press ignores Brownback and Hunter, the two true Conservatives actually running. But of course all entertainers (talk show hosts, actors and tv analyzers) must stick together./s
I think there would be little substance in such a debate on either side. Hillary would be trying to out "Suthun accent" Thompson, and Thompson would be drawling inconclusive platitudes as usual. Now Duncan Hunter would really punch holes in her shallow facade with solid, well thought out paragraphs, in yet a gentlemanly manner. :o)
Fred Barnes has evolved into a big govt, amnesty promoting schmuck.
Duncan Hunter is being deliberately ignored by the neocons and liberals in the MSM and this is no accident. They fear Hunter more than anyone else. Hunter is by far the best candidate for true conservatives. He would easily wipe the floor with Hillary if he ever gets the chance.
