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.
