Republican Debate #3

Another snoozer for sure. Again Fred Thompson wins by not being there and getting an uninterrupted 20 minutes on Hannity and Colmes to promote his brand.

P.S. Memo to Michelle Malkin......Your terrific at exposing all things under the radar and your clear thinking analysis is generally spot on but don't quit your day job to pursue a career in political consulting. Thompson's brilliant strategy vaulting him to the number 2 position in several polls may make you queezy but it's effectiveness is undeniable.

Update: From Hewitt.... Sources close to the Thompson campaign have passed along the following first-day results for ImWithFred.com:

Averaged close to 1,500 people per hour signing up as friends
Averaged $12,000 per hour in contributions
Raised more than $220,000 dollars via the website

Seen just under half of the Friends send a message to others asking them to sign up or give.

We'll see what traffic measuring services like Alexa say in a day or so, but this has to be considered a powerful shot across the bow.
