It’s all about perception. If Mr. Thompson places third in Iowa, when he isn’t expected to, he will “surge” in South Carolina, Florida and Nevada.

If Romney places first and Huckabee second, then presumably they will experience even more of a ‘surge’ in those states.

Let me start by stating that I don’t have a candidate yet.
But, if it’s all about perception, then I don’t see how a 3rd place finish helps FDT. The rap on him before he announced was “Just wait till Fred gets in.” He was touted as the 2nd coming, and widely seen as the Saviour for the GOP in 2008. He seems to be trending his expectations down, and the most dedicated FredHead has to have noticed that he hasn’t really been on fire. I’m not saying that he won’t catch on fire, but so far he’s been trending down, and the last week he picked up a key endorsement, and he’s still in 3rd with a couple of point bump. At the same time Huckabee has been gaining. At what point does FDT have to get to the front and stay there, or at least be alone in 2nd place?
