Over the weekend on Meet The Press, conservative Mary Matalin summed up the advantage of Fred Thompson appearing on the Jay Leno show instead of at the televised New Hampshire GOP debate.
I also found a great post on this issue from FREEDOM EDEN:
The long-awaited announcement from Fred Thompson is almost here.
In a couple of days, he'll officially join the Republican field of candidates for the presidency.
Some think he waited too long. Others think he should wait a bit longer, to avoid appearing that he's trying to get out of participating in the New Hampshire debate. Still others think Thompson's timing is just right.
That sort of analysis is for the pundits and insiders. It's irrelevant. What matters is how Thompson relates to Americans and how receptive they are to his vision for the country. What counts is votes.
