I’m going with Hunter as I want him to move
“The first Rasmussen Reports poll of the Iowa Republican Caucus for 2008 finds former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney enjoying a six-point lead while former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee are virtually tied for second.”
Wasn’t Romney recently enjoying a 10% lead? Now it’s down to 6? Hmmm, better move that Caucus date up to November!
As I recall,Bush didn’t do really great out of the gate in the debate department either but thank God he became our president. I trust Thompson to do what’s right for this country.
Nice try, except for one problem: Mitt Romney is spending a fortune advertising in both places. Fred Thompson hasn’t spent a dime. YET.
“People like some “real person” in a politician”
... so they’ll vote for an actor and someone who’s been in politics most of his life over the guy who’s made half a billion as a venture capitalist and been in the real private sector most of his life ... uh huh.
“and that seems to be playing well.”
“sincerity” is ‘playing well’? Good.
Maybe a Fred/Duncan ticket would be the ticket??
Power comes in numbers.
Going with Rasmussen to get a similar sampling, as of 9/30:
Thompson 24%
Rudy 20%
Romney 15%
McCain 10%
Huckabee 7%
(South Carolina)
“Ron Paul (2%), and Duncan Hunter (1%).”
I love Duncan Hunter, even more than Fred. Hunter is FAR more conservative consistently HOWEVER, when the little ‘tard PAUL is outpolling you?
Just Damn.
“Maybe a Fred/Duncan ticket would be the ticket??”
BTTT
“For McCain, the numbers are dismal. Among Republicans likely to participate in the caucus, 53% have a favorable opinion of the Arizona Senator while 45% have an unfavorable view.”
I change my mind. I thought that Tancredo would be next out. I now believe it will be McCain.
I would work my tail off for a Thompson/Hunter ticket.
They don’t??
So what is the perfect combination women seem to want?
Billary??
And what does the spouse of a candidate have to do with how the candidate performs?? Need I say more?
The MittWits will cling to the ARG outlier for dear life. It’s basically all they have left, as their world comes crashing down around them.
I love their new ‘you keep dissing Romney which is helping Rudy’ thing. They must have released a new talking point at MittWit Central Command.
It’s Run Paul’s to lose.
Yeah, but Tanc has zero cash-on-hand. He’s in debt up to his eyeballs with nothing to show for it. I think McCain can at least afford to stick it out till NH.

Well, you better send him a few more million dollars to spend on winning a primary (ANY PRIMARY).
That cool $100k he’s got left ain’t gonna get him far.
“I’m going with Hunter as I want him to move”
I too am backing Hunter, however if he doesn’t begin to shows signs of life I will vote for Thompson in order to stop the RINO express.
