3. Obama can't beat Thompson (Fred or TommY)?

that's disturbing, I guess the southern strategy works.

4. Whoops that should read 47-37 not 47-47. And its Fred.

5. Numbers like these should keep Edwards in the race.

6. Forget Thompson, Rudy is the Reps Only Hope

While Thompson may be the "golden boy" of their base "religious right", Rudy is the only one who can get moderate, crossover votes. Their right wing may THINK that the overwhelming issues are abortion and gays, but I certainly doubt that. They totally overestimate how many Republicans are "right" on those issues. I have a Republican husband who has many Republican friends, so I know the other side.

But, hey. Go, ahead. Push Thompson. Better for US. lol

7. I think it will be Rudy/Fred on the GOP

if McCain stumbles, which he is doing.
