Either there is a flaw in this American Research Group poll or Fred has gone into the crapper in Ia. If Fred can't finish in front of McCain it's all over.

Two new polls. It looks as if Fred really is in a battle for third with John McCain. Who would'a thunk it? Guess we'll know in a week.

If there is a Fred surge the polls aren't capturing it. Still looks to be a battle between Fred and McCain in Ia.

Doesn't appear to be a Fred surge. IF the poll reflects true voter preferences and McCain wins 3rd in Ia it's all over for Fred. I would expect a withdrawal announcement on Friday or over the weekend.

Wait for NH Fred, PLEASE

NH???

Fred polls behind Paul in NH. Even if Fred comes in 3rd tonite he won't receive any "bounce" out of it.

Don't beleive all you read in the papers, most of those articles come from the seacoast area which has been taken over by massholes. (I don't mean tro offend "refugees from the peoples republic of ma. ) Less than half our population lives in Manchester , Nashua or Portsmouth, there are alot of places like Bristol , Hill , and Harts Location that never see a pollster.
