Thompson up from 4 to 18 with Romney win in MI

Thompson SC at Intrade up from 4 to 18 with likely Romney MI win.

What's everyone feel about Thompson's chances in SC now?

Do you think McCain's defeat in MI had anything to do with it? I can't imagine myself that McCain losing in MI would really sway voters as much as Thompson's performance has done in the past few days.

The Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby survey gives McCain the support of 29 percent of likely voters in Saturday's crucial primary, ahead of Mike Huckabee with 23 percent and Mitt Romney with 13 percent.

The three candidates have split the first three major contests, with Huckabee winning in Iowa, McCain in New Hampshire, and Romney in Michigan.

Fred Thompson, who is making his last stand in South Carolina, was in fourth with 12 percent. Ron Paul had 6 percent and Rudy Giuliani had 5 percent in the poll, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.

He cannnot afford to come in forth. But being one point behind Romney should inspire him to put up a fight.

Go Fred Go!

You are either arguing that:

At the last debate, he was the only one on stage who wasn't a frontrunner

or

He was a frontrunner who lost to three frontrunners, by a heavy margin

Yes, he was not a frontrunner. The Media has NEVER called him one.
