Hunter is THE MAN IMO.
Paul now has 5 percent, higher than ever. That’s up from less than one percent not so long ago.
“Fred Thompson has pulled to within 8 points of Mitt Romney in Iowa, and now occupies 2nd place alone in a new poll out by Newsweek.”
If Fred wins Iowa, and places in New Hampshire.....he’ll get the nomination.

Ooh Boy! The Romney folks are going to take off the gloves now. I expect them to stop being so nice and probably go straight for the kneecaps.

Kind of surprises me this comes from a Newsweek poll. Typically their polls are terrible, and usually favor the Liberal.
I don’t know whether to cheer this or not. I could attribute this to the strength of Thompson’ candidacy that even in newsweek he manages second place. Or merely dismiss it as Newsweek. To be honest, I can’t abandon my belief of newsweek’s polling practices being questionable.
But questionable or not, the buzz from this can’t hurt Thompson. And I do believe between N.H. and Iowa, that Iowa is the best state for Fred to pull an upset. N.H. is too infected with Mass liberals. Iowa actually went the GOP’s way. IMO, Fred’s target should be Iowa, S.C., and Florida. if he gets those three states he’ll most like be the candidate no matter what N.H. does. And certainly getting Iowa would help push momentum his way in Florida since he’s almost assured S.C.
MSM pundits and talking heads are trying to get between the people who actually make the decisions and Fred Thompson. This poll would indicate that all the peevish petty commentary aimed at Fred is not succeeding.
No wonder the Axis of Desperation has become so rabid.
More good news for Fred and conservatives.
Oooh! Yes! Fred, please play in Iowa. I would to see him put all his chips on Iowa with a full force of effort and still get beat! I was afraid he was going to skip it.
The harder the anti-Frederalists attack him, the more Thompson moves up in the polls.
God, I love it!
The media today was working overtime to show the field as “wide open” and tucking in “front runner Guiliani” comments.
The MSM really really really despises Thompson.
This isn't surprising since Fred is still in his honeymoon. He is enjoying his "Wesley Clark" moment.
This must be why, this morning on “This is Weak” with Snuffleupagus, Donna Brazile said the Thompson campaign is “sputtering.”
She’s such a liar. FEAR FRED, Donna!
We will know all pretty much that we need to know in just a few days when the campaign funding reports come out. If candidates could not raise in the 3rd quarter, they won’t raise in the 4th, and for many there won’t even be a 4th.
With all the time and money Mitt has spent in Iowa, a 2nd Place finish by Fred in Iowa would be a VICTORY.
(Remember; an Arkansas Governor in ‘92 came in 2nd in New Hampshire and gave himself the title of “The Comeback Kid”.)
