Fred has Flopped on his Position and rejects! Read about it here! From what I see Fred is trying to escape something…

Good move on Huckabee's part. Since no one cares about his candidacy, why not get some limelight from a real contender. Sorry, Huck, it won't work no matter what you do. Nice guy, but cannot win. Leave Thompson to his victory lap alone, OK?

Ummm Loyda darling, did you read the article? This is Huckabee calling on Thompson… none of the people you just mentioned are a part of this…???

Huckabee won't debate Ron Paul one on one because he knows he will get schooled by Dr. Paul.

how about we expand it: a debate for the "other" candidates - all of those who are NOT the 'established' so-called-frunt-runners….

lets - for once - here what the rest have to say, since we all know the script of Hillary, Obama, Edward, Romney, McCain and Rudy….

Ron Paul? Just another guy from Texas with the initials RP, but no charts this time. An intellectually bankrupt anarchist is not the answer to America's problems (that's America…not the United States alone). Creating a killing zone along the United States' southern border? Letting just anyone get on an airplane with your mother? Eliminating all regulation of transportation on the interstate system in order to allow seemi-literate Mexican truck drivers to surround your wife's GEO? Come on, people, you may hate the Iraq war and want us out NOW, NOW, NOW, but please analyze the rest of what he advocates a little more carefully.

Fred is afraid to debate- no matter what the format

Shawnee Cannon - I agree that a Huckabee/Thompson debate would be a real snorefest!

As for Thompson, I suspect that he really IS as lazy as he is reputed to be and he's arrogant to boot. He surely knows that the Lincoln/Douglas debates were between the ONLY two candidates who were running for president and the winner took all. Thompson doesn't have the Republican nomination and there will be plenty of opportunities for him to participate in Lincoln/Douglas-style debates with the democratic nominee if he gets it. Thompson has set himself above the other candidates in the GOP field and doesn't seem to feel that he needs to work hard to secure the nomination.

From what I've heard about this man and his rhetoric, I think he's just more of the same load of crap that the lazy "W" has been offering up for the past six years! What a blowhard!

Throw ron paul into the mix and then you will have a real debate. Until then, it's just going to be more of the same neo-con garbage.

A debate between Huckabee and Thompson?
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz……..

Was the Lincoln dialogue with a guy of the same party my I ask these two Republicans? Besides, in my book and as a Staunch Conservative Christian Republican, neither one of them is truly speaking for the Founding Fathers, as Ron Paul does! I have no use for any other one, but Ron Paul is my candidate, period! America was not made for wars as now is the case. There is Mr. Oliver North, the furious preacher about war, like the most fervent preacher! How sickening that should be to the American people, especially the Christians. Yet, sadly they are some of the most fervent supporters of Goerge W.'s stupid war, the President that claimed Jesus as his hero. One can only wonder how pleased his hero might be, everytime he opens his mouth to speak? George W. what is your answer?

Huckabee would destroy Thompson.

The link in the article is bad (surprise surprise) its mike.huckabee.html not mike.hukabeehtml. I hope your reporters aren't doing your website coding now.

That would be very funny,can CNN air that debate?Two regressive simpletons discussing vision would make a years fodder for the daily show!Maybe they can armwrestle to see whose imaginary man in the sky is greater.Core values?More like rotten to the core.Great comedic value though.

Give up guys. Oprah is da man, kingmaker, and outed. Couldn't find a single white candidate better than Obama! Will wonders never cease.

Huckabee has thrown down the gauntlet. I hope Fred picks it up and slaps him in the face with it!

Fred said on Jay Leno, "Nobody declares before Labor Day."

The time has come.

Why don't you debate Ron Paul, Huckleberry? Oh yeah, that's right; he'd take you to school like he already did.

I have no love for Huckabee, but I applaud him for calling Thompson's bluff on this one. There's no way any modern politician, especially Thompson, would really want an hour long single-issue debate, because they don't have enough pithy sound bites to fill an hour on one topic.

This debate will almost certainly never happen, and I applaud Huckabee for having the balls to call Thompson out on his rhetoric.

Sounds fair to me. Hollywood Fred has been quick to offer up sound bytes but when pressed on specifics of any issue, he evades, dodges and obfuscates. It would be nice to see exactly where he fits in on the totem pole of insanity.

Mike Huckabee aka "The Huckster" is jealous of the press Fred Thompson gets, he should instead of slandering Fred should have a one on one debate with Him as Fred Thompson suggested on the Tonight show, Fred will send the Huckster away with his tail between his legs after he debates Huckabee one on one!

Fred Thompson Forum

We know who Fred Thompson is.
Who is Mike Huckabee? Who does he think he is?Do we really need another candidate from Arkansas?

Fred doesn't care about people's concern - he wants to get elected to enrich himself and his friends! Fred is as big a phony as they come!

You can bet that, as straight a shooter as Fred Thompson is, he will be answering the call on that one.

What would they debate–Which one of them has more honor?

I'd much rather see a Fred Thompson vs. Ron Paul debate.

This is, of course, because I have no doubt in my mind that Ron Paul would wipe the floor with Fred Thompson.

[...] Huckabee challenges Thompson [...]

Go get 'em Huckabee!!! I'd LOVE to see more one-on-one debates, in the democratic primary as well. I think they would give voters a much better idea of why they should vote for one person over another

Thompson should get the nomination!
We need a Democrat in the White House…

Way to go, Mike. This will be great for him.

A Thompson Hucabee ticket would do very well!

Huckabee would appear to be the REAL conservative here. Let's see if this johnny-come-lately has the courage to accept the offer.

It is surprising to me that more conservatives have not gravitated to Huckabee with all of the wannabe conservatives in the race.

Edwards in 2008

A debate with just Thompson and Huckabee? Sure that would be a good idea. Im a Thompson supporter but Huckabee is an honorable man and would make a good Vice-President for Fred. I approve.

Vote Fred Thompson 2008 and 2012!!!

This is just funny huckabee is just trying to get some publicity. And Thompson well his hole campaign is a joke, so maybe they will get along great together.

Clinton 08

ALL candidates need to demand Lincoln-Douglas debate format. I'm sick of the Q&A garbage that gets passed for "debate."

No more hypothetical questions, no more lack of rebuttal. The only way to dig into the issues is for the candidates to address EACH OTHER, not the camera.

This would be a debate I would love to see

Fred, don't do it. If you debate Huckabee one-on-one, you're screwed. Huckabee will take all of your points and go on to win the nomination.

Huckabee is going to win the nomination anyway if Fred can't get his campaign together.

Has the presidential catalog arrived yet?

What would it take for congress to select and appoint a small body of the electorate to debate against each candidate, grade the candidates, then in a non-bias, presentable portfolio designed for public consumption publish the results after all the candidates have been engaged and so rated. This paid for and reflected by page entry limit a percentage of the amount the presidential candidates have taken in campaign fundraising at a pre-set date outside personal lending and merchandising, or, just televising the debates on a government sponsored channel.

Fred Thompson For President

It is sad that someone would avoid debating the other candidates, most likely as a strategic step.

Why would Thompson avoid the debate? He must believe that vague perceptions via the media are more likely to win for him than debate content!

I am concerned that he is right. Where are the American People? Why would someone be afraid for us to hear their ideas?

Fred don't do debates … so don't hold your breath. He copped out of debating Michael Moore, someone who Thompson could have chewed up and spit out several times over.

A debate requires too much thinking on Fred's part. I mean it would take him several weeks to decide whether or not to accept … plus then there's all that makeup etc., etc., etc.

The closest thing that Huckabee will get to a debate from Thompson will be an exchange of snappy e-mails probably authored by a second tier flunky on Fred's staff.

Fred wouldn't accept it. Huckabee would trash him hands down. I'm a sensible moderate liberal and of the whole republican line-up, Huckabee appears to be the most sensible. He's the most electable. He can appeal to people outside the traditional (looney right-wing) base. He seems sincere as well.
