Brownback says F. Thompson made political calculation by not attending debate
MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Kansas Senator Sam Brownback said politically speaking he understands why Fred Thompson is not participating in tomorrow's Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire.
"From his point of view I can see why he believes there isn't a lot of political upside to his attending the debate," Brownback told reporters after an event in social security.
Asked how he feels about the storyline that Thompson is entering the race as a "true conservative", Brownback said he "would happily compare my record to anyone's."
