Pajamas Media calls Iowa race between Romney and Thompson

That's right Huckbots, while Brian Pickrell does not rule out a Huckabee win, he claims that the race is really between Fred and Mitt. As a supporter of Mr. Thompson, I'll live with Mitt as well.
According to Pickrell...
I find it hard to believe that Huckabee is actually leading in the polls here in Iowa. Every person I spoke with told me that theyre supporting Romney or Thompson and that everyone they knew or worked with (who are also Republicans) feels the same way. None of them have even considered Huckabee as a serious choice. It could be a fluke in the polling process or it could be a fluke in that I know people who are politically aligned with me and they, in turn, know and talk to others who think the way they do. Or it could be a little of both. I dont really know for sure.
I've been saying this all along. After much phone calling to Iowa, I've yet to talk to anyone who cites Huckabee as their #1 Rudy and John fans should not be offended, we know they have ruled out that state, just like it comes of no offense to me when I see Fred has no shot in NH.
Pickrell goes on to say...
As I mentioned earlier, the people I have spoken with are supporting either Romney or Thompson, and everyone they know is doing the same thing. They have seen little support for Huckabee. Either its a flaw in the polls or a fluke in that like-minded conservatives tend to talk about these things with each other (birds of a feather, you know).
Insert Huckabee screaming in a Deanesque fashion here... Yaaaaaaaah!

I think Fred has great Credentials. However, he is not yet connecting with a lot of folks, not just ME. I expected a lot better articulation of those principal than Fred’s given.

As a Fred supporter, this news is a real upper. It’s not unlike some other information I’ve heard out of Iowa, but it’s great to see confirmation from other sources.
GO FRED!!!! [Yes, I'm waking him from his slumber....and I’m sure he is asleep because the big Iowa bus tour blitz begins tomorrow.]

he claims that the race is really between Fred and Mitt. Pollster Kellyanne Conway gave the same opinion on FOX this morning.

Im sure his one goal is to impress YOU. No, Fred is going to win by trying NOT to impress the voters. It's his way or the highway....
To: Politicalmom
I dont want a nanny or cheerleader for President. Hmmmm, well Huck is clearly the Nanny so who would be the cheerleader......Mitt? Yah, I guess I could see him in pullover sweater and with a bullhorn cheering for whatever team is winning at the time.

Well put. All you have to do is follow Fred Thompson.
If you follow what the media reports on him, you miss a whole lot.

In my view the overwhelming likelihood is that Romney takes Iowa — simply because he has spent so many months and millions of $$ there that he will probably be able to bus more people to the caucuses.
Thompson’s campaign has said that they’re shooting for at least third place. If he comes in second, it’s a huge win. On the other hand, if Romney gets anything other than a major victory, he may be in trouble. It’s an expectations game — that’s why Romney is trying to position himself as the underdog despite all the millions he’s spent.

I still think that the polls are being manipulated/gamed (Moby’d) somewhere along the way.

SURPRISE, not a surprise to me, I have been telling my wife, the nominee is going to be FRED.
Don't pay attention to the guy behind the curtain.

Yes, he maybe or may have been slumbering, but ? remember what Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto once said :
"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."
Fred Thompson is a sleeping Giant, and once he awakes, FEAR THE FRED !!
The MSM is afraid of Fred awakening and winning the nomination and winning the general election.
It's Fred, and us against the MSM , we GOT TO WIN THIS for the sake of our country people.
The ONLY clear choice in 2008 is : THOMPSON/HUNTER ticket.
We the people have to stand up and fill in the void for Fred and get the word out by the word of mouth ( The MSM won't do it for Fred ), I have been telling people about Fred and most people I have talked to said ? really ? he is running ? I like Fred.
This is to Fred Thompson... Fred ? please awaken, search your heart for the strength and put your heart into this like Rocky.... You are fighting this battle for us and our country, FRED ? YOU CAN WIN THIS,,,, GET YOUR HEART INTO THIS !!
To: topfile
I have supported Fred from the beginning, since there was talk about his running for President.
I do admit, I got weary waiting for him to announce he was running and in the last few months of wondering what the heck was going on with his campaign , now it seems he has gotten back on stable footing and going for the prize for us.
Since he started to run, I have always supported him and never wavered, please my friend, support Fred, he needs us so he can win this fight for the sake of our country.
If Fred won't be able to help our country ? who will ?
I can't count on the other politicians to help this country and Fred is the only one I see who can pull it off with our help.
WE THE PEOPLE drafted Fred to run, and WE THE PEOPLE have to get Fred over the top to win.
The ONLY clear choice in 2008 :

Don't pay attention to the guy behind the curtain. In this case the guy behind the curtain is the MSM pushing Huckabee 24/7. They're afraid of Fred. He doesn't follow their carefully scripted rules.

Let’s hope Fred can get it going in Iowa and carry it through to the General Election. Watching his performance in the debates has been painful. Fred lost a lot of support in the previous You Tube debate where Huckabee shined.
Thus many former Fred supporters found a “fire in the belly”
Candidate they could see getting broad General Election support. I’m one. Let’s see what Fred can go do now as the spotlight is fading fast. History has shown that an IOWA wins translate into the next Republican Nominee.

I expected much more from him.I expected more from you.
It is beyond me that there are people who consider themselves serious about politics and conservatism who want an "entertaining" presidential candidate. If you are an adult, serious about conservatism, and have an attention span greater than two minutes, you have to grant FDT that he has interesting positions worth listening to. And his take no prisoners attitude is clear in his speeches and debate appearances, which should entertain even the most attention deficit individual.
The guy is not boring unless you simply refuse to listen.

It is questionable whether the poster you are responding to possesses the qualities you describe. More likedly just another detractor who won’t admit who they actually do support.....from either party.
Accurate observations from you though, TN4.
