Not this poll. And more evidence that McCain
at 4% should bug out of Iowa -- where his comeback could crash --
and throw everything into NH. Brownback or no Brownback it's not
worth a 5th place finish 5 days before NH. Will Romney folks have
their own "expectations lowering" media call soon or is it too late
for that?
NH looks solid for Romney but the "minds not made up" remain
over 60%. And if McCain falls off the map in Iowa do his voters
shift to Rudy?
For Thompson: those ads better pull him out of 4th in Iowa and
something better get him out of 6th(!) in NH or his "strategic
bridge to South Carolina" will go the way of the Bridge on the
River Kwai. ( On the electability factor did NRLC make a
mistake?)
UPDATE: And in South Carolina this
one says Rudy 26%, Romney 20%, Thompson 18%, McCain 14% and
Huckabee 12%. This poll has it not so close in Iowa
with Huckabee 11 pts back but McCain still in 5th.
