"Doesn't register" as in these polls show him in first place, yet when the results from Jauary's preference polls hit the media he fails to live up to the expectation.I find this statement interesting, especially from someone on the ground in Iowa. Define "register" as you understand the meaning in this context, please?
But since he has no organization, no money, and no solid support I don't see it going that way.
Only the Republican race has been updated here by Pew Research Center but because the polling was conducted between November 7 through 25, you should be cautious of taken any of this as gospel as some candidates appear to be soaring right now while others are flailing. As we speak, Rasmussen Reports has Mike Huckabee tied in first nationally for example. And the latest South Carolina poll by American Research Group poll had Fred Thompson in fourth place while he is statistically tied for first here.
The last two Ron Paul polls out of New Hampshire had him at 2% and 4% while he is at 9% here. We do believe Ron Paul has dropped a little bit after the initial boomlet caused by November 5th but not so drastic as to be worth 5-7%. At least it is impressive for a candidate trying to establish himself as a viable candidate and focusing on New Hampshire to have done as well as he had across three weeks than say the two days following 11/5. Because it shows his support had been high for a long period of time.
What I am more impressed with is the fact that 15% of New Hampshire Republicans said they would NOT vote for Ron Paul under any circumstances... highest of all candidates. Nationally Ron Paul was also the worst at 10% but tied with Rudy Giuliani. Of the "top candidates", Huckabee has the lowest objectionability in each of these polls.

I wonder what Goslash has to say about this. Hold on while I go get my popcorn.
Just curious, but where do you get your facts? Do you have something that supports that statement? It looks like to me his backing is real. In fact, most credible sources I read seem to say that Huckabee is gaining money & support each day...
Just tellin' it like it is. There are other candidates who I don't support who stand to fare better. And if you don't like my signature... don't look at itAlso, you don't need to panic everytime you see a thread that does not support your (very large) signature line candidate.....it's all going to come out in the wash sooner than later.
I'd say you're guilty once again of thread-jacking. This thread has nothing to do with my candidate.I wonder what Goslash has to say about this.
I get my facts straight from the ground in Iowa.
He simply doesn't have the chips to play in Iowa and when he fails to deliver it will finish his campaign.
Yer darn right. Maybe not in the way you meantwhat you saw at an envelope stuffing session, or your take on yard signs simply does not equal poll numbers.
The only poll numbers that matter are generated on January 3rd
Just so I have this straight, you're cool with whoever gets the momentum going through the primary?
'Cuz you're #3 in line unless I'm mistaken.
