A Five-Way Race
CAMPAIGN STANDARD BLOG

You can read about the new AP / IPSOS poll here. Here are the national numbers:
Giuliani 26
Huckabee 18
McCain 13
Romney 12
Thompson 11
Note that the frontrunner is ahead by eight points, while only seven points separate the second-place candidate from the fifth-place candidate. Huckabee's rise in Iowa has led to a volatile national swing, in which Thompson's national support retreats as Huckabee surges from out of nowhere. The swing happened rapidly. Who's to say we're not due for one more swing, or perhaps two more, before January 3, 2008?

Thompson Goes All In
Yesterday, 10:36 PM • By Michael Goldfarb
Stephen Hayes has just posted his latest from the campaign trail at THE DAILY STANDARD. Thompson goes all in:
Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson has decided to take his campaign and virtually all of its resources to Iowa in an all-or-nothing attempt to register a strong showing in the caucuses here on January 3. "We're getting ready to make this not only our second home, but our first home," he told a small gathering of supporters at the Polk County Convention Center on Friday night.
Hayes also reports that Thompson is taking aim at Iowa's newly minted Republican frontrunner, Mike Huckabe, hitting the former Arkansas governor over his position on Guantanamo Bay as well as his recent stumble when asked about the NIE. Go read the whole thing.
