Jon Ham points out an error in yesterday's Dome (and today's print edition).

We wrote that Mitt Romney was attacking Mike Huckabee for "channeling" John Edwards, then said that Huckabee and Edwards are the only two Southerners left in the race.

"Fred! would beg to differ," Ham writes on his Right Angles blog.

We stand corrected. Former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee is indeed still running for the Republican presidential nomination.

In our defense, he is currently polling in fourth place in South Carolina, fifth place in Florida, sixth place in Michigan, sixth place in California, fifth place in New York, and fifth place nationally.

And, in our hearts, he's still the district attorney of New York City.
