It has been widely reported that Thompson canceled a NH trip. Instead he is in Tennessee, Texas and DC this week, according to his press shop. This should come as no shock. Since foregoing the NH debate he has had only one brief visit in the Granite state. NH is simply not in his plans as he focuses on Iowa and SC as the momentum builders needed for Florida and the redder states of February 5. Rudy is in South Carolina for two days with a big endorsement that is NOT Mark Sanford. He is running well there and would like nothing better than to knock out Thompson or come so close as to diminish any Thompson victory. Romney is no longer concentrating solely on NH and Iowa and is in Colorado, Oklahoma and Nevada in the days ahead. This seems wise since counting on big wins in the first two states to propel him into the national lead may be overly optimistic.
