I'm a bit suprised that Richardson is not a little closer to Edwards, due to the how close they both were in fundrasing. I mean, he may not be up there in the polls yet, but if you look at the Republican side, Paul's pretty high, assumingly based at least somewhat on his fundraising.

Richardson gets an F for his knowledge of Roe v. Wade.

Really? I heard him quoted somewhere saying that he had to pick a supreme court justice, he would only support one who considered Roe v. Wade the law of the land. I took that as a pretty solid endorsement of it. but maybe he changed his mind, ha ha.

Huh. I guess the straw poll really was worthless if Brownback's that low. And I find it surprising that Huckabee is still below Paul [not that I'm complaining.] I realise its just one event, but there's been alot of talk in the last month or so about how Huckabee was the "real consevative" in the race. But I suppose people are waiting to see if all this talk amounts to fundrasing or poll success.

But Huckabee's price has more than doubled (almost tripled) relative to where it was before the straw poll, so it's definitely had some effect.  It's just that the price was so low to begin with.  And Brownback got no bounce out of his 3rd place showing, because it's only 3rd place.  It was actually kind of embarrassing that he lost out to Huckabee, who spent so much less money than he did.

Ah. I don't follow this as well as I should, I guess. Thanks for enlightening me on this. Still, I think a third place showing at Ames should at least give Brownback a boost to 0.3 or so. But eh, who knows?

I know McCain no longer has any shot...but I'm sort of tempted...if he shows any sort of resurgence, the man could easily shoot back up to the 10-range.

He might go up abit after tonight's debate, if you want to believe what Fox is spouting.

I thought Giuliani was their horse. Did they get tired of him?

The Luntz guy had a focus group of 24 voters, and they all said Giuliani was disappointing and McCain was fairly impressive. I'm skeptical of any group that has such a unanimous opinion on how the debate turned out, but whatever.

How long until Thompson starts to slide? By the start of November, I think he'll be down at least in the mid teens.

To be somewhat fair to Paul, it should be mentioned that he ran a pledge drive on his site to raise a million in online donations in seven days and was able to surpass this goal by $200000. Richardson and Edwards both attempted a similar drive, but I don't believe either of them made the million. Edwards in fact had 10 days to do it and still failed to meet his goal. Of course, this does not mean Paul's going to win the nomination, but if Gore can be that high on the Dem side, I think Paul is justified in being high on the Republican side[though perhaps not THAT high.]
