(However, after his enormously successful showing at the Iowans for Tax Relief candidates' forum, I still have high hopes for my guy as well).
If either Fred or Tommy win the primary, and pick the other Thompson, it will be Thompson/Thompson ticket. It’s not without merit. Tommy probably can carry Wisconsin (substitute for OH, which may flip to Dims), while the other Thompson can carry the South. If that’s the case, the Dims will use characters from Tin Tin comics to smear them (the movie may come out next year, BTW).
On to the Fiddler’s Notch, New Hampshire maple syrup boil and straw poll!! I feel confident that Tommy Thompson can garner at least 20 out of the 33 votes there if he promises price supports for American syrup tappers!!
The actor dude who gets a lotta press for being coy and not saying he is running for anything gets 17%.
But Mr. Tancredo of Colorado, who is routinely bashed here on FR and in the press everywhere for being an eeevil anti-immigrationist, does better than drama queen and darling of the East Coast cocktail circuit John McCain (former fearless front runner, self declared heir to the throne).
What's that tellya, folks?
So many names mentione, but only one of any significance...

Wow, these numbers are WAY out of whack...
Tommy Thompson comes out the winner? Wow. And Tom Tancredo, the guy who’s my second choice, finishes a strong 4th?
Yet Hunter failed to get a single vote? Hmm...

Welcome to the Official Tommy Thompson ping list! -- The ONLY candidate for President elected statewide in a swing state as a proven conservative!
Please Freepmail me if you want ON or OFF this list. Remember, despite what some freepers may think, Tommy Thompson is the ONLY Thompson out there actually RUNNING for President.
Tommy Thompson: The Reliable Conservative
================================================
When I announced Tommy had WON 1st place in Iowa's second largest county, and concluded the post with "On to Ames!", legions of freepers came out to mock the results and claim all those TT supporters "meant" to vote for Fred (just as Gore supporters claimed his voters couldn't follow an arrow, Fred supporters would have us believe his base can't remember their candidate's first name). Had to faulty. No WAY does Tommy have ANY support in the "real" polls.
We'll see if the Fredheads are still laughing about the "On to Ames" remark on August 11th. I have little doubt the Fredheads will be working overtime to claim all those Tommy voters really "meant" to vote for Fred. They just can't fathom that once Iowa voters actually get to know the candidates, someone could consciously choose to select the Thompson who has executive experience, WINs in a swing state, and is far stronger on conservative issues than the Hollywood guy.
I will personally be in Ames on August 11th. Fasten your seatbelts, this is gonna be a bumpy ride.
actually Ron Paul, without being listed, did get the same zero votes as Hunter.
Unfortunately for Ed Failor, Rep. Paul will be on the official straw poll on Aug 11
