Come on Fred !
COME ON FRED!
MOTIVATE these folks.
Senator Clinton in THIRD place? Bet they've got her locked in a room without ashtrays and lamps :)
FRed BUMP!
Hey, what's the latest on the Breck Girl's love child? That rumor dropped through the cracks mighty quick.
I agree. Fred is doing better than 13% in Iowa.
I’d like to see Fred Thompson do well in Iowa but I’m really happy about the idea Hillary coming in third.
‘Ron Paul crashes’
The oomPauloompas will do spins, twists, and backflips telling everyone that this is actually a victory.
We will be able to say “He raised 20 million, only to come in 5th?”
This poll has a big sample 600, but of course we don’t know their definition of “likely caucus goer” vs other polls. Regardless, 600 is a lot.
THIS is attention getting. From the same sample of GOP voters:
4. Do you favor a withdrawal of all United States military from Iraq within the next six months? (Republicans Only)
Yes 46%
No 41%
Undecided 13%
FYI, the previous poll from this organization was Dec 26-27 and showed this:
Mike Huckabee 29%
Mitt Romney 27%
Fred Thompson 15%
John McCain 14%
Rudy Giuliani 4%
Ron Paul 4%
Duncan Hunter 1%
Undecided 6%
Clearly the momentum in this definition of “likely caucus goer” is Romney’s and McCain’s (who seems to have grabbed numbers from Thompson).
Note the small undecided in this poll. That contrasts with CNN’s just released. It usually indicates this pollster “pushed” the undecided with a “well who are you leaning towards?”.
Be careful what you wish for! Hillary may be an easier Democrat to defeat in 2008 than Obama or Edwards.
Heard a discussion on Fox today talking about this!!! Both have much lower negatives and broader appeal to independents than Hillary.
Hillary in 3rd!
She could still recover though. In ‘88 it was Dole, Robertson, Bush.
Note this poll is actually the very latest release. Sampling seems to be through the 30th. Others sampled through the 30th too.
Different results is different definitions of likely caucus goer, but the trends look clear.
Third place for the Queen in waiting? Oh boy, will she ever have a snit. Hide the ash-trays and lamps.
Huckabee fumbles. He’s been staggering around like a drunk since he hit the big time. Just amazing.
I know we should be happy that Hillary is in 3rd, but remember this John Edwards and Barack Obama are likely to win swing states of Ohio, Virginia and Missouri while Hillary would lose.
“She could still recover though. In ‘88 it was Dole, Robertson, Bush.”
Yet another example of why Iowa is useless as a predictor of who’ll win the nomination.
I’m hoping that too!!
The beast comes in third, somebody's gonna DIE!
