But maybe more than anything else, he gave an opening first to Romney and more recently to Huckabee that neither would have had. So instead of squeezing them out of the race in the summer, Fred Thompson finds himself squeezed in the fall.
Is Thompson a problem for Romney? Sure, but not as much of a problem as Romney now is for Thompson."
Good analysis.
Not true ! He worked very hard to pass McCain-Feingold in order to restrict political speech in America ! Give the man some credit where credit is due !
true enough

Bob Dole beat GHWB at the Iowa Caucuses in 1988. It is only SO important.
YOU ARE CORRRECT SIR.....
Yes, it was a "blip". He was already leading Iowa, his lead is down to about half of its highest point. He already had led New Hampshire, and now Guiliani is within MOE of him there. Michigan is essentially tied with Guiliani, despite being a state where Romney has "roots". I call BS on Nevada -- polls there have been a mixed bag, showing no trends whatsoever... virtually anyone can claim to be in first there right now.
and is moving up in Florida and South Carolina as well
Well, he did break into double-digits in Florida, so I guess that's an improvement. Why he's actually polling near his national average there now!
Latest SC: Giuliani 21, Thompson 23, McCain 14, Romney 10 -- this is "moving up"?
He's also recently made great strides in the national polling too.
Rasmussen, Gallup, and ARG all have him with 2-3 point leads over dead-duck McCain. Liberal-biased Quinnapiac, which gives Romney an edge, has him at McCain +4. Hardly breakout numbers.
Thank You for pointing out my incorrect memory. I did vote for Reagan in 1984 which was not popular in my college. My point is the other candidates have been breaking their asses running around the country on the house party rubber chicken circuit while Mr. Thompson has been aloof. Eventually I’ll consider him and his positions, but my first impressions are not positive.
