Another week, another crowded pack at the Rasmussen tracking poll, but unfortunately I'm not at my best health-wise at the moment (it's only luck that this is getting posted at all), so don't expect a lot of analysis this week.
There must have been an outlier sample pro-Romney last week. That's the only way I can explain the way he jumped way up then dropped back where he was before. Maybe it's all response to these robocalls and the explanations of who made them, but I'm not sure. McCain does drop a little this week, but not much, so I don't know what to make of it.
Thompson appears to have shed down to his core that every candidate seems to have, while Giuliani's just bouncing around waiting around for the champion of the ABG forces to emerge.
To sum up last week: Yawn.
Libertarian state, they're not necessarily all that conservative. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see RP show up with 10% or so. I would also note that NH will be his highwatermark.

CongressCritter™: Never have so few felt like they were owed so much by so many for so little.
And I think that the bloodbath he will likely face in Iowa will hurt his turnout in New Hampshire.
But I really don't like seeing news that can fire the Ronulans up.

Just released a poll. Disturbingly Ron Paul has moved up to 8% and Fred Thompson has dropped below the Mendoza line(MOE +/-5%) at 4%.

Now this was done by a university so I won't completely discount the possibility of Ronulan espionage but I have to say I really don't care much for any news that might encourage the Ronulans.
