The six stages of anti-Fred Hysteria:

1. It's too late for him to run.
2. He can't raise enough money.
3. He's bald, women don't like bald.
4. He's only polling well because people don't know him.
5. He can't beat Hillary.
6. Hello, Mr. President.

Fred has no chance in Iowa. Romney has control on the ground.

Good list, but you forgot one between 5 and 6:

5.1- He stole the election!

This is a very, VERY dangerous tactic Romney is using by basically claiming he's already won the straw poll. If he doesn't win, his campaign is over. If he doesn't beat Fred by a large margin, it's almost as bad a losing.

You couldn't tell by polling numbers. Romney has less than a 10-point lead (after leading by over 15 points earlier) despite the mountains of cash he's spent there.

It’s not a tactic, it’s just reality.

Have you been to Iowa? I don’t think Fred could even rent a bus their if he wanted to.

NH is Romney’s, plain and simple. Rudy wouldn’t even have had a shot there. Partly because half the people in Mass who voted for Romney for Governor have since moved to NH.

Iowa is winnable for Fred.

It's a hyperbolic pre-emptive declaration of victory.

Seems that way to me, at least.

And Romney has no chance in NC, SC, FL, and CA. Which state on either of those two lists affords the least number of delegates?

Fred has no chance in Iowa. I spent the last weekend there. Trust me. Caucus goers and STraw Poll attendees are the same people who want to meet a candidate in person. A satellite feed of your family and a nice post at Fredstate won’t win it for you.

Fred has no game, and there is no game left to get.

His big Iowa grab is a staffer guy from a loosing governatorial run? You think that’s something to brag about?

Doesn’t matter anyway. Fred will win both Carolinas, Florida, and California.
