Thompson, I don't even consider a long shot. I realize he's not in the same tier as McCain, Romney or Giuliani. But I think he fits into the second tier of candidates, with Gingrich, Huckabee and so on.
I voted (gulp) for Duncan Hunter. Sometimes, the very first guy into a race is able to parlay that into a small advantage. I think Paul Tsongas was first in in 1992 and he gave Clinton a run for his money for longer than expected.
Hunter still has to do something to distinguish himself from the rest of the field and then communicate that to voters in Iowa and New Hampshire. If he finished in the top three, I'd be surprised -- but not shocked.
