“Mitt down 4 percentage points since yesterday’s scurrilous accusation that Fred bribed the NRLC for its endorsement.”

I don’t think that has been in play long enough to affect the polls. I am surprized that Thompson hasn’t started to climb with the NRTL endorsement.

Actually, these numbers say to me that Guiliani has a solid base of support at around 25%. About 25% is undecided and the last 50% is split between Romney, Thompson, McCain, and Huckabee. These four, at this snapshot in time, are virtually tied.

It really is time for some of the smaller players like Hunter (no matter how qualified a candidate he may be) to do what is best for the party and drop out and throw his support to whomever he thinks is best to get the nomination. This would help break up this logjam.

Otherwise, we can expect a Guiliani victory, IMO.

I expect both Tancredo and Hunter to drop out soon, and I can't imagine either getting behind anyone other than Thompson. I also can't see how maybe 4% is going to break up the logjam, unless many of the undecideds are secretly Tancredo/Hunter supporters who don't want to commit to anyone else before their candidates bow out of the race.

What I am looking for is Huckabee to end his run as flavor of the month -- which except for IA, it looks like he has -- and for those numbers to break up the logjam.
