Yes, by withdrawing from the race & endorsing McCain”

You might be right.

And though I never thought it would come to this, I think McCain is worth a look. He is likely to win in NH.

I'm in favor of withdrawing too, after we win.

The question should have been, "Do you favor withdrawing from Iraq in the next six months even if victory has not been achieved?"

This is the question the LSM will NOT ask. They don't want to hear the resounding "NO!" they would get from the American people.

We’d be looking at a party contrast equivalent of 1984 if we had a Thompson vs Edwards contest.

Probably with a similar outcome as well -

(flashing red light on DC to make it visible on the map, anyone?)

With all due respect, shouldn't that say John McCain surges?
Fred had been in 3rd place, now he's fallen to fourth behind McCain as I have predicted.

I’m hoping for this result.

Obama, Edwards , Clinton in Iowa
Obama, Clinton, Edwards in NH

I hope this will cause the white racist in the Democrat party to re think Hillary, and Black’s to vote for one of thier own and try to get off the plantation.

In the republican race.

Huckabee, Romney, Fred in Iowa.
McCain, Romney, Fred in NH.

I will have a very hard time voting for the Ken Doll ‘Mitt’ I want him out by Feb 5.

McCain can’t win any where but NH he’s no real threat.

Gulianni can’t win anywhere but the four big liberal states.

Huckabee can win in the south if he can stay in the race, but will loose big time to Obama or Hillary.

It’s too bad about Hunter crashing and burning,he is a good man, but hooray for Fred. He is the best man for the job of President. He has one shortcoming though, he gives a straight forward answer to questions and tells the truth. Can Americans handle his candor?

This question is worded to trap the naive and gullible into appearing as what the pollsters want.

Perhaps. I think it more likely Iowa is a very marginally red state and the Republicans in it are likely to be more moderate than say, a Texas Republican.

This is a good thing. All philosophies should have moderating voices available to clarify foundations and prevent “spiraling out of control”. The Democrats would be outright communists were it not for moderating influences exerted from their new Blue Dog seatholders and senators like Nelson in Florida and . . . previously Lieberman.

Both those guys are rather leftward for the GOP, but they are decidedly rightward of most others in the DNC.

I can’t wait! What a fantastic political month we have going, here. I’d put up a “munching popcorn” graphic if I had any skills.

I don't think we should be analyzing polls about Iowa at this late stage eNews Reference Directory of News around the world.

I predict FRed will finish in 2nd place in Iowa. A 2nd place finish will shock the pundits.

The caucus system rewards well-oiled campaign organizations and enthusiasm. Romney and Huckabee, respectively, probably have those two areas in their favor.

If Fred Thompson comes close to either one of them -- or passes one or both -- he can justifiably claim a victory. OTOH, I don't see Iowa as being all that representative of how primary voting will go.

I agree. At least Obama and Edwards don't appear to be unconvicted felons....you can't say the same about Hillary.

In the Dim Iowa Caucus , second tier candidate supporters can Caucus with top tier candidates .

Too bad the Republicans can’t do it . The Hunterites could caucus with Fred if it was allowed on the Republican side .

Both have much lower negatives and broader appeal to independents than Hillary.

Now let me go out on a limb and tell you the really scary part! Both Obama and Edwards have more appeal to women than Hillary does, regardless of what you may be told to the contrary.

Most polls have had him at 12-14% for days now with the other candidates moving around as much a 12%. Very odd stuff going on.
