Thompson is a man apart:

"with former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee angling hard for a spot in the top three.

Or rather, angling as hard as the infamously slow-walking Thompson can muster.

"I'm not going to change myself, or my habits or how fast I walk" to win the nomination, Thompson told a gathering of supporters in Ames. "Maybe I am wrong, but we'll find out."

Among the volunteers helping out at the Thompson event was Melissa Dyson, a marketing director from Dallas who has been phoning voters, handing out stickers and helping out at Thompson's appearances.

"He's the man I want to represent our country," said Dyson.

He’s attacked everybody,” Huckabee said of Romney. “His attacks on me have been desperate and, frankly, dishonest.”


Seems quite the oppisite to me.

Heard an interesting scenario about Iowa caucuses. The 15% rule. It is supposed to destroy Hillary.

Her negatives in Iowa are at least 50%. No one will report more than 45%.

Say Hillary, Osama, Edwards get their 30%, 28%, 26%. Anyone whose candidate does not get 15%, then votes again.

On the second vote, it seems, everyone will vote for someone other than Hillary. No one who didn't vote for her the first time will vote for her on the second ballot. Osama and Edwards get all the second votes.

The Toon comes in 3rd.
