Now this is an amazing thing if it pans out to be true! Romney has been flooding Iowa with cash, ads, and a large organization. He has expected to come away as a clear cut winner in Iowa by all his expenditures.
Yet, with all the money spent by Romney, Thompson — who hasn’t spent a penny in Iowa — is hot on Romney’s tail.
This shows several things. 1) Romney’s utter weakness, and 2) Thompson’s obvious strengths. It also shows one more thing: The people of Iowa won’t be bought by a Daddy Warbucks that wants to buy the presidency.
Newsweek poll:
1a. If you were attending a Republican caucus TODAY, which ONE of the following nine presidential candidates are you most likely to support?
(Top 5)
25 Mitt Romney/Lean Romney
16 Fred Thompson/Lean Thompson
15 Rudy Giuliani/Lean Giuliani
7 John McCain/Lean McCain
6 Mike Huckabee/Lean Huckabee
(But, to be warned. While one shouldn’t look a gift poll in the mouth, don’t necessarily expect they speak the truth, either.)
Ping!
Any guesses on when the likes of McCain, Huckabee, Tancredo etc all drop out? I think Fred will pick up a lot of momentum when they do.
And Fred is in Iowa the first three days of next week.
BUMP!
