I suspect that on the republican side, Thompson will take it...

The reason is; The more people learn about Thompson, the more they will like him and vote for him. The more they find out about Rudy, the less they will like him and vote for someone else.

Fred Thompson is our only hope! The other conservative candidates just don’t have enough numbers to pull it off, sorry to say. The other top tier candidates just aren’t conservative enough for me.

A lot can change in a month, so I am not discounting him, but so far, to this point, your statement can be proven incorrect.

Since he officially joined the race, and “more people learned about him” he has gone backwords in the polls. From Rasmussen, he has gone from a high of 28% in the beginning, down to 12-14% this past week. That means since he has begun his campaigning he has lost half of his support.
