Iowa Caucus

The latest from Zogby at RCP has Huckabee up by 6 - by 1 in the RCP average. Take your pick, otherwise knowing as guess the turn out model that'll prove itself correct. For consideration, their record on the Republican side isn't that great in contested races. Reagan finished behind Bush in 80 and Dole in front of Bush is 88.

Memeorandum is sure to be full of Caucus items today.

Pajamas Media has a round up.

Zogby [b]Interactive[/b] isn't reliable because of their implementation of the internet. The Des Moines Register has been pushing Huckabee ahead well even though they moderated the debates horribly for the Republicans with a bias towards Huckabee.

So, uh... how's Freddy Thompson doing?
I'm a little surprised that the Republican Big Tent has so collectively dismissed the next great Reagen. What happened with that?

Don't take any poll after 1 January with much more than a grain of salt. As someone else opined here in the past few days, the IA caucus is itself little more than a glorified poll (in that it has weight and starts the snowball effect).

What is more worrisome is the MSM in overdrive to do hit pieces on the one candidate they truly fear: Fred Thompson.

The Politico's Jonathan Martin joins hands with that miserable hack Roger Simon, in all but condemning FDT's campaign with the ongoing memes of laziness and the MSM chorus regarding FDT's "no fire in teh belleh".

Indeed, Martin is no slouch with at least two articles in the past couple of days, which stop just short of calling Fred's loss and subsequent withdrawal from the race all but a granite-scribed certainty.

Hogwash! These MSM puppets routinely regurgitate the pablum fed to them by their liberal masters at MediaMatters and verbally gratify one another with the same talking points in an orgy of journalistic Onanism that that would have the venerable Samuel Clemens wishing he could arise early from his grave to set these puppets straight.

It is a sad testament though, if people truly lack the capability to think for themselves, much more so swallow whole all of the deceptions of the socialist-inspired press which does no more than give print to outright lies and fabrications - for people to dismiss America's only true conservative candidate - Fred Thompson - simply because he didn't pay homage to "the process".

Surely, Americans - and specifically Iowans today - must be smarter than this. Will we really be the stupid, bleating sheep that the MSM certainly regards us as?

Fellow Fred supporters:

Please take time on this very special day to appeal to the Great Sovereign of all sovereigns, the Lord Jesus Christ, by prayer and fasting (Matthew 6:16-18) to guide the steps of the Iowa caucus-goers to vote for the true conservative: Fred Thompson.

I've posted some guidelines for this prayer and fasting as suggested by a user on the Fred campaign site:

Let us not accept the GOP version of Clinton who will strum his devilish rock guitar in hopes of seducing us into a Hollywierd stupor. Let us support a man of Substance:

Before 1960 most colleges were not accredited, therefore McCain did not graduate from an accredited college. McCain was the class anchor, the lowest grades in his class to graduate, and rumor has it he graduated only because his dad was a high ranking admiral.

Sorry, Seek. God said he's voting for Huckabee. Nice try though.

Clearly, your pal Jesus has forsaken you. Now you can only sit and wait for the lightning bolt to come and strike you.

Amen.

To the liberal peanut gallery (Bob/Islamo/et.al) :

If God has so willed for Huckabee to truly be the GOP nominee... then the hour of judgment is upon us all. First with the household of God, but woe especially to the godless and the heathens after us.

I'll wait for the Tsunami Tuesday and the nomination - but I think I'll start earmarking more of my budget from now to lay up some up-to-date survival gear. And ammo. Lots of ammo.
