That 12% must consist of family members, 3rd cousins, crazy aunts locked in the attic and all his democrat friends.

Republicans antsy for a conservative standard-bearer in the presidential race have begun to rally behind Fred Thompson, propelling the former Tennessee senator to within hailing distance of the lead for the party's nomination, a new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg Poll has found.
Former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani holds first place in the survey, with support from 27% of the Republicans and independents who said they planned to vote in the party's 2008 primaries.
But Thompson, an actor who plays a prosecutor on NBC's "Law and Order," polled 21%. Indications are he will join the race within the next month.
The two other major GOP contenders, Sen. John McCain of Arizona and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, have fallen well short of the leaders and are in a battle for third place. McCain was backed by 12% of those polled, Romney by 10%. The rest of the crowded field is mired in single digits.

Breaking 20%....wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A poll did what? That must have been some poll.
Don’t trust a poll that puts Giuliani in first.
Tancredo has 63% on the Times’ site. Theories?
I can easily believe Giuilani gains 27% support from Republicans.
Fred has gone from fourth to second in 45 days. I predict that he’s in first by Labor Day, assuming he announces sometime in July.
Tancredo stands no chance.
Ron Paul 14% hahahahaa
Dennis Kucinich leads the dumocrat poll.
I agree, although not all FReepers do.
My post was to ask why the LATimes' online readers would put Tancredo at 63%.
Close enough to the border to see such a bulge?
Poll has been FReeped (or something)?
Other?
I happen to prefer Mike Gravel to Dennis the Menace. Two reasons:
Snicker... I hope he gets the nomination! lol
You misread it ~ the 63% is Thompson.
This is a two-man race, no doubt about it. Rudy and Fred vie for the heart and soul of the GOP.
It's good that we commence this debate in the open, it's been festering in the belly of the GOP for over a decade: Will the GOP be the only residence of the social conservatives? Is it enough that a candidate is economically conservative and strong on defense? Can such a candidate bring the West Coast and the Northeast into the GOP fold electorally? If a social liberal can bring the NE and West Coast into the fold, would the GOP then risk the South?
Remember, the dems were able to SPLIT the social conservatives in the last election, many did vote for dems who opposed gay marriage and abortion.
I try to keep from getting infected by looking at LATimes too long - apparently I was a little too quick! Apologies...

This is going to blow wide open once he announces.
