...that reason, the Thompson campaign has been on the attack lately on just about every topic that might resonate with conservatives, going after, among other things, "Huckabee's liberal immigration record," as one Thompson spokesman put it, and the fact that Huckabee raised taxes and increased spending as governor. Thompson has even raised questions about Huckabee's multiple run-ins with the Arkansas Ethics Commission during his 10-year stint as governor over issues ranging from how he paid himself with campaign cash in the early 1990s to his claim in 1998 that some $70,000 in furniture donated...

...members—and not journalists—were treated to a worthwhile debate. The event kicked off with the usual Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.)-bashing focused on her lack of firm positions.
