      (Newser) - Fred Thompson's campaign counter-programming last night—announcing his candidacy on Jay Leno instead of debating GOP rivals in New Hampshire—scored with the American Spectator ’s John Tabin, who notes that he dominated the debate without being there. The forum’s first question was a contest to see who could riff on Fred best: "Maybe we were up past his bedtime," John McCain quipped. Rudy Giuliani said he appreciated Thompson’s portrayal of him on “Law & Order.” More »
