600 likely (by their model, at least) voters, MOE 4.5.

Survey taken Dec 16-18, which means the King endorsement may be reflected in Thompson’s numbers, but not completely, as it came out on the 17th and many folks might not have heard about it until the 18th or later. (Rule of thumb, from what I gather, is that events often take 3 to 4 days to really show up in polls).

Mason Dixon is the Gold standard of state polling. I’d love to see a current one from them.

There is only one poll that counts and it is still yet to come.

Now, there is some good news. Romney is a liar and flip-flopper and would discredit the Republican party and conservatives that associate with him. So, hopefully, Fred can establish himself as the conservative alternative in the race.

For Republicans:

3. How important is it for the Republican presidential candidate to be a conservative Republican in the mode of Ronald Reagan, very important, somewhat important, not very important, not important, or undecided? (Republicans Only)

But...for Democrats:

7. When making your selection for a presidential candidate, what are you looking for most in the candidate, charisma, experience, or ideology? (Democrats Only)

Now...why no questioning dems on the importance of LIBERALISM in the mold of...say Carter? Why do libs get to avoid talking about being libs?

HOW DARE YOU!

You are a DNC plant....

Mitt is a Conservative damn it....

Just look at him, isn’t he just a handsome figure of a man.

Only a real conservative looks that good.

Agreed!

From what I understand (which isn't much) Iowa usually hinges on who has the best organization. From everything I have read, that person is Mitt.

My greatest hope is that it isn't Huck.

So what is the one-liner?

I cannot divulge. I am trying to network to find someone who is close to the campaign. I know a few people in Knoxville who are close to people who are close to the campaign. But sometimes that isn't enough. You need to find just the right person that has his ear. Or a person close to that person.

Yeah, but your answer can’t be represented as a show of hands.

The next round of stories will be to the effect that Iowa does not really matter. It is New Hampshire.

And I'm going to laugh my ass off when Ron Paul's minions flood into NH and vote in their open primary, handing NH to Paul and invalidating the state.

The problem is it could be anyone of them...

I of course think it will be Fred, or at least he will be where he needs to be, but it is the damnedest thing I every have seen.

With what Mitt spent it should be over by now. Rudy had it in the bag, and Huck, well damn, just damn, it, well I can think of a term for it, I just shake my head....

Due to my pro-life views, the only 2 candidates I can fervently support (that have any chance at this point) are Huckabee and Thompson.

Here is a question - if Huckabee were to be taken out by Romney’s attack machine, where do his voters go? To Romney? To Guiliani? To McCain? No, they go to the only other pro-life, pro-marriage Republican left in the race, Thopmson. That is, if he is still around by that time.

By these #’s, Fred’s been gaining as Rudy has been losing. I think there are 3 groups of Rudy supporters:

1) those who are looking for a strong leader and communicator,
2) those who are socially moderate, and
3) NYers who are grateful for what Rudy did to restore order there.

Fred’s a natural heir to the #1’s, even-keeled and non-bible-thumping enough for some #2’s, and only here and there positioned well for #3’s. So far Rudy’s the one losing in the polls, and Fred needs to pick up at least some of that.

I am surprised you can’t remember Kerry’s words. He was so inspiring. :-)

I just found out Fred Thompson used to date singer Lorrie Morgan.

She says she still loves the guy.

If the guy can date all these babes, and marry a babe - he can do anything!

Did I see the FOX News/whatever poll had Fred only 9 pts. behind Huckabee?
