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.
