“Thank goodness. I don’t want a candidate who can win Mass. or NH”

Yeah Regan was such a crappy candidate.

His big Iowa grab is a staffer guy from a loosing governatorial run?

His "big Iowa grab" was the assistant director for the midwest from a winning Presidential campaign.

Oh, sorry. I was unaware Fred had lost Iowa. Silly me, I thought that's what the poll was for.

Maybe Mitt's hair and Edwards' hair will abandon their masters and run on the Unity '08 ticket, edging out Bloomberg.

If Romney drops out and fred comes down from the perch you and I call the internet.

A whole weekend- wow, that makes you an expert all right.

I’m here full time and if Fred gets in the straw poll I will go and vote for him. If not the whole thing will be meaningless because without Fred, Mc Lame, and the NY lib Romney will have no real competition.

But regardless Fred still can win the caucus in January.

I wonder if Romney is paying him to post on this site?

Didn't say he lost, just that winning a caucus in Iowa is not possible for Fred.

Ah... the "too lazy to campaign" canard.

You know, be careful what you ask for. If Thompson is doing this well when he's "not campaigning" (despite going all over the country, plus foreign visits, and issuing nearly daily political commentaries), imagine how well he'll do once he starts.

Reagan won virtually every state. That is not happening this time.

Fred has no chance in Iowa. Romney has control on the ground.

Only until Fred stomps into the state.
