Jim Geraghty says Fred Thompson was Roy Hobbs at the South Carolina GOP debate tonight:

Winner: Thompson. This performance was so commanding, I wanted his last answer to echo back to the lights in the back of the auditorium, blow out all the lamps and spotlights, for the theme to “the Natural” to play, and for him to trot around the stage in slow motion while sparks showered down in the background.

And as you must surely know, Mitt Romney actually invented baseball. The stuffed corpse of Abner Doubleday is a mummified hatrack in his office.
