Another reason to skip the GOP debate on CNN and turn to Fox.

Former Senator Fred Thompson, who has all but declared his candidacy for president, may not be on the stage at Tuesday night’s Republican debate in New Hampshire, but he will have another platform all to himself – on the Fox News Channel.

Mr. Thompson is to appear live on “Hannity & Colmes” after the debate, which ends at 9 p.m.

This show may be an even better venue for Mr. Thompson, and indeed a friendly one for him, even though he’s already an accomplished television performer. He will have the set to himself and will not have to compete with his 10 soon-to-be rivals for precious air time during the two-hour talk-fest.

Oh, will the debaters be pissed off (and rightfully so) and may CNN's ratings tank to Fox's (and Thompson's) benefit.  This will be fun and unprecedented stuff.
