Looks like the "Big Four" has turned into the "Big Two"

Go Fred go!

Six other candidates--Senator Sam Brownback, Congressman Ron Paul, Congressman Tom Tancredo, former Governor Tommy Thompson, Congressman Duncan Hunter, and former Governor Jim Gilmore—split 4% of the vote.

Ouch, the bottom 6 sharing 4% of the overall support...

If Giuliani happens to win the nomination, I don’t have a clue what I’ll do in the general election. I cannot vote for a democrat and I cannot vote for Giuliani.

For the first time since I’ve been old enough to vote I might have to leave that space blank.

So, go Fred go!

I picked up my Fred Thompson bumper stickers and a "The Hunt For FRed November" t-shirt off CafePress.com this past week.

You wouldn't believe the comments I have gotten.

Fred Thompson bump to the top (double entendre).

Nice to see McCainiac reaping his rewards.

Stablizing with Fred at #1!

Thompson’s numbers among the GOP faithful have been moving in the opposite direction. Sixty-four percent (64%) of GOP voters have a favorable opinion of the actor while just 12% have an unfavorable view.

Opposite direction depends on how you look at it right? 64 favorable this week compared to 66 favorable last week.
BUT
12% UNFAVORABLE this week compared to 18% last week.

So what does a 2% decline in favorables versus a 6% decline in UNfavorables mean? Is this "net-positive" news?

...[McCain's] fervent support for the unpopular immigration reform bill may have been the final straw that doomed his campaign

MAY HAVE BEEN???? Understatement of the day

If I cant have a head banging conservative, I’ll at least take someone that can play one on TV!

[Jim Robinson]

Woo hoo!! FRed the RINO killer is on the move!! Run, FRed, Run!!

The news here is not that Thompson continues his edge over Giuliani, but that Romney can't distinguish himself in the polls form McCain. McCain's star has tanked. And Romney, not being able to show himself a leader in the polls, has also dropped by the wayside, IMHO.

It seems more likely the GOP nomination will become a fight between Thompson and Giuliani. That's fine. Giuliani doesn't have a chance in a GOP primary. Not after 2007.

I'd really love to see Hunter's star rising somewhat. Not that I'd choose him over Thompson, but it'd be nice to see a real conservative candidate 'shine' over someone like Romney. A cabinet position would be great.

OTOH, Hunter's supporters have been so anti-social, I just might have to rethink that last comment. Sheesh, get a life!
