GOP Nominee
Former Candidates
Not that Thompson.
This one:
Aug. 11 - the Ames straw poll - is a make or break day for Tommy Thompson.
Thompson, a former Republican Wisconsin governor, vowed Friday night that the mid-August day will be the driving force that leads him to become the next U.S. president.
“I expect to come in first on the straw poll in Ames,” Thompson said during a taping Friday night of Iowa Public Television’s “Iowa Press.”

If Tommy Thompson came in first in Ames among candidates named “Thompson,” that would be an amazing upset.

Tommy does have those biker buddies, and I believe they are having the Harley-Davidson conference the same week as Ames. I won’t be surprised if he does finish ahead of Brownback and Huckabee. In fact, I think he may give McCain and Rudy run for their money. But beating the other Thompson or Romney… That is quite an aim! What an an Air Force Officer He must have been!

Thompson’s actually a stronger second-tier candidate in Iowa, along with Huckabee. In Iowa, the ranking is Romney-Giuliani-F. Thompson-McCain-T. Thompson-Huckabee.
Tommy’s been polling at seven percent in some Iowa polls — not too awful, really, at all.
But 1st place? What a deluded man.

I don’t get T Thompson’s logic here.
With Rudy, McCain and the other Thompson twin out, there is definately room for a second tier challenger to make a credible run for Romney. And he would seem to be better positioned among his 2nd tier competition, as Huckabee is probably stronger in the South and Brownback is still hurting on his handling of CIR.
But why predict victory? Now, a close second to Romney can’t exactly be spun as a stunning upset. Plus, he is sorta tipping off his hand to the Romney camp a bit, no?
Seriously, if this makes any sense to anybody, please enlighten me because I just don’t get it.
