What has Fred done with all the positive spotlight and name recognition? He has squandered what was once the lead on Intrade and lost ~30 points coming in behind McCain, R Paul and Huckabee. 30 Points! That is evidence that he’s a real lousy campaigner. Fred is also losing ground in the polls. In that same time period, Hunter has been slowly inching upward in the polls and now his contracts have started to move at Intrade. The market smells a bargain for Hunter’s futures contracts.
Hunter is the better man and now he’s emerging from Fred’s shadow as the better campaigner.

Hahahaha! Spiff, you are soooo predictable! Fred isn’t heavily invested in New Hampshire. He’s looking towards South Carolina, Florida nad other early Southern primaries. Nice try.
It’s NH - I don’t care.
Fred’s going to win Iowa and SC. He doesn’t need NH.
Nice try?! Predictable??! I simply posted the results of a poll that has just been released. You guys are truly getting desperate...
That's not smart, imho. Fred is running third in South Carolina, fourth in Florida, third in Nevada, fourth in Michigan, etc.
When other people win Iowa and New Hampshire (my guess is Romney will win both), the resulting momentum won't help Thompson climb out from the pack.
New Hampshire’s like Guam right? Do they even get delagates?
If so, he's going to have to start moving up asap. Iowa is January 3rd, and Fred's 16 points behind front runner Romney, behind Huckabee and Rudy and nearly tied with McCain.
That’ll remain to be seen.
Romney’s been mail-bombing New Hampshire, so his distinction from Fred’s disregard of NH is much to be expected.
I got a call from Romney’s campaign last night, he’s going to be in Amherst, NH this week.
Spiff is posting a straight news story about a poll. He didn't write the headline, or the article.
What exactly is Spiff supposed to be trying here anyway?
he was reincarnated in the form of Ron Paul
Romney 2008! Because he’s a bit better than Rudy.
I don’t really know about anyone else, but I don’t care what Intrade has to say.
What does that have to do with the common, ordinary, garden variety Republican Base Primary Voter?
Almost absolutely nothing!
Mitt Romney = Paul Tsongas ‘08
(For those who don’t remember, Tsongas was the Massachusetts Dem. who won over Bill Clinton and the rest of the pack in the 1992 New Hampshire primary. )
Harkin won Iowa, Tsongas won New Hampshire. Tsongas’ win was written off because he was judged to be practically a favorite son as a Massachusetts pol is very familiar to NH voters. Romney’s lead can be written off in the same way. He remains stuck at 11-12% nationwide. Mr. “$50-abortion” Romney, like Tsongas and Romney’s dad, George, will be the answer to a trivia question before long.
The picture show cases the problem with the republican party RINOS!
Romney 2008!
Because if the base doesn’t like what he stands for today, he will change tomorrow!
No need for core convictions.
He is the Bob Dole of 2008!
I guess old Fred is trying to use the rope-a-dope strategy. I hope they remember to wake him up and push up to a microphone when it is time for him to make his acceptance speech! (Not!)
