McCain: Maybe we're up past Thompson's bed time

(CNN) — Fred Thompson's Republican rivals made excuses for the presidential candidate's notable absence from Wednesday night's debate in New Hampshire.

"I think that's a decision that Fred should make and maybe we're up past his bed time," said Arizona Sen. John McCain.

"I was scheduled to be on Jay Leno tonight, but I gave up my spot to somebody else because I'd rather be in New Hampshire with these fine people," said former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

But Mitt Romney poked fun at Thompson's delayed entry into the presidential race.

"The only question I have: Why the hurry, why not take some more time off?" said Romney. "Maybe January or Febuary might be a better time to make a decision about getting into this race."

Duck mad about Thompson's absence
DURHAM, New Hampshire (CNN) – Even a duck is angry that Fred Thompson is skipping Wednesday night's Republican debate.

A man in a duck suit protested Thompson's decision not to participate in the debate in New Hampshire. Standing in between Mitt Romney and Ron Paul supporters, the duck showed off his resentment.

On the front, a sign on his suit read, "Fred, why are you ducking the debate?" On the back, it read, "Quacks should stay in Hollywood."

The duck would not say who he is planning to support.
