Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson has never been one to linger too long shaking hands. He is a deliberative man, who campaigns in short bursts, and enjoys his private time as much as anyone. So when he finished speaking here Wednesday night, in the cramped back room of a restaurant, he never stopped working his way to the exit door. A few minutes and a couple of posed photographs later, he was back on the bus for another long drive through another Iowa snowstorm...
...know be careful here. And you know you've got McCain coming up in the polls a bit, you've got Huckabee ahead and neither of them are any good on this issue. So the last thing you've got to consider on this issue is, ok [Tennessee Senator Fred] Thompson, he's a good guy, he's good on the issue but I don't think he's got a chance of winning the race.

...Giuliani's steady decline in national polls, meanwhile, is magnified by surveys in the early battleground states.

In 1970, as the Vietnam War raged, U.S. intelligence officer Fred Whitehurst was burning a stack of captured enemy documents in Quang Ngai province when his translator begged him to spare a tiny cardboard-wrapped bundle because "it has fire in it already." Intrigued, the American asked his translator to read from the papers, which turned out to be the war diaries of Dr. Dang Thuy Tram, a North Vietnamese field surgeon shot by an American...
...Romney's campaign in Iowa, points to Romney's relative stability in the polls as evidence that he already has a strong base with defense and fiscal conservatives in Iowa. "What has happened is you've had an underperformance by some of the candidates, particularly [former Tennessee Senator Fred] Thompson, Giuliani and [Arizona Senator John] McCain, and as they've gone down, Huckabee has picked up those numbers," Gross said. "But Governor Romney's support has really been quite stable...
