And let’s wait until Fred actually announces, speculated to be some time next month, if he does, and see what happens to his numbers!
Another one where you hit the nail on the head!
So Fred, undeclared, barely mention as being in contention until not long ago, is within 7 points of Rudy, the frontrunner, who has been campaigning essentially for years? Nice.
he can’t announce until sweeps month is over at a minimum.

FT topped at 12%, now he is at 10%.
You also failed to show that the last poll was taken Feb. 22nd Edwards was at 44% and Rudy at 46%, that was before Edwards wife came out and said she had cancer, and now Johns polls have shot up over Rudys.
Apr. 5th is a pre-cancer admition for Fred too, so we will see if his numbers will change as well, for the best or for the worst.
You know, that just *never* gets old! :-) :-)
LOL.
I believe this to be true. People on FR think that just because he is a lightweight, an idiot and a girly-man, he is not dangerous. Pathetic as it may be, this guy could be president.
And suing evahbuddy's ass off is how Breck Girl got his obscene enough-house-for-a-hunnud-pipple.
Edwards is a joke, and so has to be this poll.
Edwards = James Buchanan redux.
anyone with an R after his name, regardless of his policies, has a severe uphill climb—we’re talking scaling K-2 here
The idiotic mistake being made by the polls is that Fwords will never even get a sniff of the dem nomination.
Watch it. Saying “Run Fred, Run!!” really irritates Chena. :)
Now, now, Politicalmom. The way you posted that could make someone believe that I was against Mr. Thompson. I know you know that is not the case at all. I made a comment on another thread about finding that "Run, Fred, Run" jingle annoying and downright irritating. It's been played like a broken record. I stated something to the affect that that sounded like a children's book, brought to mind visions of Fred being a little boy, and I also said that I felt it sounded disrespectful to Mr. Thompson. I've also gone on record as not wanting someone to run for President because he was being pushed into it, or coerced, etc. And, as you know, I've also stated that I haven't chosen which candidate I will support yet, but have been keeping an eye on Mr. Thompson.
In this political climate, I do believe it would behoove us all to be fair and accurate. :)
Just teasing you.
I don’t totally agree with that. I think they will put up a white guy. Somehow, hillary will get exposed for something before Christmas. Either edweirds or richardson, who is or just did visit North Korea to get party marching orders.
Hell no! To support Rudy, you have to have no shame.
