Those polls aren't worth the paper they're printed on. One poll I saw had a sample of 15,000. They had Fred at 1%. Fred's moving up. David Yepsen, the Iowa Caucuses guru, thinks that Fred's got a shot at moving up. I wrote about it here.

Remember that Crowley is a liberal who doesn't understand conservatism.

Dave,

If it were the old days, and there wasn't so much media coverage, I think Fred Thompson would do just fine. Sen. McCain was counted out not very long ago...so, maybe it is still possible.

An example of polling: Yesterday morning John Edwards was ahead, mid-day Sen. Clinton was up on top by 7% and the day ended with Sen. Obama in 1st by 7%. So, I am just going to wait until Thursday to see where all of the candidates (Republican and Democratic) actually land when all is said and done.

Fred Thompson is a good man. I am not a fiscal conservative on Domestic Issues, so, I know in the long run that I will be voting for a Democrat. Tax breaks and huge debt just don't cut it for me.

Sincerely and respectfully,

Mr. Clark

In looking back over Mikey Crowley's articles, he has had a lot of fun at Fred's expense. Of course, none of it worth anything of substance other than adding to the spin parroted by the MSM. I think Crowley needs a vacation which should last the rest of his career...Perhaps, he would do much better as a painter inthat the colors he would undoubtedly choose for blue trees and brown skies are entirely his prerogative and have no consequences in cost to our country.
Prepare for your own roasting Mikey as I'll be enjoying myself at your direct expense but, I'll be providing much more substance than you ever have.

Ron Paul is doing far better than any of those selected polls, that leave his name off most of them. He is still doing better than Fred Thomspon. Only Ron Paul takes to the people with commom sense and doesn't stand on a podium thinking he is better than you or me. I respect America, and want our country back, so I only can vote with integrity, that vote goes to Ron Paul of course.

DRJ2:29PMJan 1st 2008

Fred's lack of poll numbers are indicative of the fact that the average American voter does not look deeply into each candidate. Money will more than likely win this election and the more face time a candidate gets the more likely they are to be elected.

Fred is the most clear, concise and consistant candidate from either party. While the others adjust their position to suit their audience, Fred has stood pat.

And Ron Paul? You have to be kidding! The guy is a joke. States he refuses to vote on any pork barrel expenditures but proudly proclaims that he plays the system. That's like cheating at cards but not raising the bets and folding at the end. The guy wants to remove ALL US troops from around the world but cannot even tell you how many US troops are out there. And, he refuses to acknowledge the peace keeping role that many of these troops play on NOW peaceful regions.

Ron Paul is less qualified than Ross Perot was, and at least Perot thought about what he was going to say prior to opening his mouth.

Fred Thompson didn't want to run for president, and he doesn't want to campaign now's he's been forced to run. Fact is, this guy should've stayed on "Law and Order" and pushed his conservative viewpoint there. I feel lousy for him, in a way: Republicans wanted so badly for him to get involved in this race, and now they've deserted him in droves. (Reminds me of what the Democrats did to Ted Kennedy in '76.) Thompson's hopeless--he'll never recoup this deficit. I hope he gives up soon and stops beating himself over the head with the possibility of a job he doesn't even want.

Eleanor11:15PMJan 1st 2008

I will vote for Fred Thompson even if I have to write his name in. Fred 08!!!!!!!!!!

EileenMacEnery8:24AMJan 2nd 2008

Fred Thompson was supposed to be the GOP's answer to Hillary...a face recognizable in every household and among those who dont really care who runs...as long as he can beat Hillary.

But that all changed when Ron Paul began to spread his message of freedom and all those formerly apathetic Americans, and disgusted and despairing voters from both the left and the right found a man who says what he means, and means what he says.

I wouldnt be surprised if Fred Thompson doesnt throw HIS support behind Ron Paul. Fred got screwed by the GOP when he reluctantly agreed to run. What's the old saying? "Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me!" All the more reason to vote for Ron Paul!

Sharyn Illingworth11:39AMJan 2nd 2008

For years there has not been a candidate that I have agreed with enough to support. Fred Thompson cares about the things that concern me and I agree with his views. It's about time that we had a candidate with plans ready to fix many of the problems we face today.
And with all his experience in national security he's a natural. We really need someone who will fight the amnesty for illegal aliens. And he has a distinguished record for exposing corruption and government waste. He is the clear choice.

I plan to order some additional "FRED 08" bumper stickers after Fred places third in Iowa. If he doesn't, I will wait until after the South Carolina primary. I am one frustrated member of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, Evangelical Christian Branch.
Fred is the real deal, and I keep hoping he will get the job done in terms of doing the work in the trenches necessary to get elected in 21st century America. His last ditch bus tour and TV ad and YouTube speech to Iowa's GOP voters may make it happen. But I will wait to see.

Elliot3:27PMJan 2nd 2008

Fred Thompson get lower and lower poll results all the time. Ron Paul grows his support day by day. Online, Ron Paul dominates. Anyone discounting Ron Paul has not listened to his platform. What's his platform: I WON'T BREAK THE LAW, AND I AM THE ONLY CANDIDATE WILLING TO SAY THIS.

Please! You would think Ron Paul is enemy number#1 the way the associated press and the media covers him. He is a distiguished ten term congressman who has served his country with honesty and conviction. How can you compare him to Ross Perot, you idiot! The Bush adminsitration can't even tell us how many troops are out there. What does it matter when we have thousands of illegals running into our country daily. There should be an IQ test on the issues before idiots are allowed to vote, or at least post messages like these.

tenn084:07PMJan 2nd 2008

The thing about Fred is he doesn't need to be President to fulfill a life long dream. He is running for President to fix the mess that the last few dream seekers have gotten America in.He addresses the issues and gives a sound detailed plan to fix them. He does not get upset about the media they have their own canidate they want to push, so, Fred came to the voters and has tried to address the issues one on one to let the people of Iowa see who he is. 50 stops in 14 days does not sound like someone is to lazy to politic to me. Go to fred08.com and listen to the speech he did for Iowa. Just listen to him before you make up your mind and you will see what I am talking about. If it don't changeyour mind thank you for watching the video and may God Bless you. I just believe Fred is running for the RIGHT reasons (FOR THE COUNTRY)not to be able to tell his buddies look at me I am the President of the United States of America.
