“And yet, Fred Thompson’s plain spokeness on broad themes— smaller government state’s rights— do seem to be resonating with voters. In Iowa, home to the nation’s first caucus, he has moved into second place and more than half who support other republicans say they might switch to Fred Thompson if they knew him better.” (CBS Evening News, 10/9/07).”
Can you imagine if he snuck up and stole Iowa out from under Mitt? Then a strong 2nd or 3rd in New Hampshire?
It’d be OVER.
Especially since he’ll almost certainly win South Carolina, Florida, and most or all of the South & border states!
