John, yes he does have a big lead in Iowa which is why I thought it odd that Thompson is spending day after day there. (Is Thompson nervous about coming in behind Rudy and Huck? Seems like a lot of time to be spending just to avoid coming in third or fourth.) I’m beginning to wonder though whether his message for Iowa with a heavy emphasis on social issues is somewhat incompatible with voters in NH. And if Independents cross over into the GOP primary it’ll be an even bigger problem.
