On other thought occurred to me. They maybe seeing the possibility of a Huck implosion on the near horizon, much sooner than they had hoped, so maybe it has forced a move in a way. No need to go backwards just because Huck could not sustain.
I would think after the week Huck’s had, we’ll see his numbers drop like a rock...
However, I’m not so sure this was not his plan all along. FRED did not get in too late...people who have been paying attention in Iowa have heard all that Rudy and Romney have had to say. All but FRED have been in since the beginning and look where all that money spent by these campaigns have gotten them. I am beginning to think that this was all part of the master plan. I don’t believe he expected Huckelberry to jump into the lead, I feel he thought he would be chasing Romney and Rudy.
In the alternative, if FRED has to whip ever damn one of them ...so be it! WE THE PEOPLE have had it with the DB MSM choice they have made for us.

I had the same thought. I think that this move has a lot to do with him seeing an opportunity. Huck has had a ton of bad news come out. He’s not smart enough and not loaded up with enough money to sustain his current support with that kind of press, so Thompson has an opportunity here.
1. Kill the “fraud” off. Get Huck essentially out of the race now
2. Take up Huck’s support and the support that has been peeled off of Romney, McCain and Rudy
3. Get on the national media radar. They are all in Iowa, so play the game on your terms and with your timing.
