Huckabee has taken Thompson at his word. His campaign says he
sent Thompson a letter which reads: "I am aware of your comments on
Fox News that you would like to participate in a series of Lincoln
Douglas-styled debates. I would like to officially accept your
offer." No word yet on how Thompson will say "never mind."
UPDATE: That didn't take long. Todd Harris from camp Thompson
replies to my inquiry: "He ought to get together with Bill
Richardson and have a potential running mates debate." Cute or
condescending? You decide.
