Mr. Schoen, while making valid points, is somewhat mistaken: Mr. Thompson is in a statistical tie with Mr. Giuliani in Florida, California, Wisconsin, etc., and leads in Colorado, as well as placing 2nd in many New Hampshire polls. Fred Thompson now leads Rudy Giuliani in the Harris National poll, one of the most respected. Remember: Senator Fred Thompson only declared his candidacy TWO WEEKS AGO!!

Fred Thompson/Duncan Hunter or Duncan Hunter/Fred Thompson ticket would be a real winner.

Despite his relatively low national numbers, Romney leads in Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan, and Nevada, according to the Real Clear Politics averages.Which is why if he wins the nomination, the dems will take it all.
Romney's organization can target specific areas right now, but the simple fact is that while he looks good on paper, he simply doesn't grab the public the way a novelty act like Clinton or Obama would, and if Americans want a change from Bush, they'll go with either of them or Edwards over Romney.
Romney's bucks can buy him a lot, but he simply can't get those national numbers up.

And with Thompson running against Hillary, he could run her right off any debate stage by simply mentioning Huang, Trie, Chung, Raidy - and now Hsu:

I guess we can throw tort reform, a marriage amendment, the border fence, and employer-based enforcement of illegal immigration out the window...
Great. *rolls eyes*

A liberal friend says he’s voting for Thompson because he can’t stand hillary. This is anecdotal, so make of it what you wish.

"The most recent Rasmussen polling shows Thompson leading the field with 28% of likely primary voters followed by Rudy Guiliani (19%) and John McCain (13%). Mitt Romney is in 4th position with 11%." "Now that's what I'm talking about!!"

I think Sen. Thompson rated the numbers quoted here on 9/18ish. Their daily tracking poll has shows a slight drop for Sen. Thompson and a slight gain for Giuliani. Not sure why. Maybe the Moveon situation?
