* Fred  "zzzzzzzz"  Thompson's debate performance was deemed a success by some because
(a) he stayed awake during the entire performance
(b) he didn't call "Russia" the "Soviet Union"
(c) a majority of the audience stayed in their chairs while they slept.
In my opinion, Fred Thompson is about as exciting as watching Jello melt.
