Fred Thompson sweeps a pair of Georgia Repub Straw Polls
Interesting that he had more votes than all the others combined in the first one, and beat native son Gingrich in both.
First one
But the most interesting news came from the presidential straw poll, which had been tacked on to the end of the officer ballot, almost as an afterthought. The delegates were given a choice of a dozen or so candidates. None of the Presidential campaigns were represented at the convention.
The national frontrunner, Rudy Giuliani, placed third, right behind Georgia’s own Newt Gingrich, who finished second. But the winner was former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson of Tennessee, who received more votes than all the other candidates combined.

Second one
Also the party conducted a presidential straw poll with former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee garnering the most votes. In second place was former Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Here are the complete results:
Former Sen. Fred Thompson 38.9% Former Speaker Newt Gingrich 30.5% Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani 15.2% Former Gov. Mitt Romney 8.4% Former Gov. Mike Huckabee 1.6% Sen. Sam Brownback 1.6% Cong. Duncan Hunter 1.6% Former Gov. Jim Gilmore 1.6%

Top 3 Finish for Fred Thompson in Ohio Straw Poll
Finished well behind Giuliani and McCain, but got 50% more votes than Romney who finished 4th.
In what might be an early indication of the nation's thinking on the next Republican presidential nominee, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani won a straw poll Saturday night with 233 votes at the Summit County party's annual Lincoln Day Dinner in downtown Akron.

Polls - Fred Thompson passes Romney in Iowa
Wow, just wow! Maybe this is why the Romney folks at some blogs were going negative - their guy is not only not getting any traction, he seems to be losing it, whereas Fred Thompson, without any campaign at all, has passed him.
Well, the first round of Fred Thompson numbers continues to come in from state-level polls around the country. The latest numbers out from American Research Group show Mr. Thompson at 12% among likely Iowa caucus goers, beating Mitt Romney's 10%.
...
All in all, not looking bad for my prediction earlier this week that Mr. Thompson could catch up to Mr. Romney in the blink of an eye.

GRAIN OF SALT: Polls in caucus states, like Iowa, are notoriously volatile, so wait till you have 3 good ones in a row to start celbrating.
My Opinion: I wonder how Hugh Hewitt will handle this? He seems to be banging the drum incessantly for Romney (look at his posts they are laregly about Romney/Mormonism and little esle these days - nto toe metnion him pumping his Roomney-boosting book). I notice Hugh avoids mentioning Fred Thompson - its almost conspicuous by its absence. Its time Hugh woke up and went back to being neutral rather than a campaign organ for Romney. Jumped too soon, eh Hugh?

Polls - Fred Thompson debuts at 10% New Hampshire
The first rounds of polls that include Fred Thompson are starting to show up - and things are looking suprisingly good for an undeclared canadidate with no campaign apparatus or ads.
Manchester – A new poll of New Hampshire voters suggests that Fred Thompson might undermine Republican front-runner Rudy Giuliani.
The American Research Group March 19 to 21 telephone poll of 800 likely GOP primary voters included several possible candidates who have not announced their plans.
In a February poll, Giuliani led the field with 27 percent, one point ahead of John McCain. In March, Giuliani slipped to 19 percent, four points behind McCain. Mitt Romney was supported by 17 percent.
Next in line were two unannounced candidates, Newt Gingrich at 11 percent and Thompson, who had not been part of earlier surveys, at 10 percent.

Fred Thompson Even with Romney in Ohio Poll
In spite of not even being declared, and not having an organized campaign nor even an exploratory committee (just us unorganized grabastic bloggers), Fred Thompson is polling EVEN with Romney in Ohio. Note that even Newt is up there. Of course he's trailing Giuliani and McCain by a lot, since Romney cannot seem to get traction for some reason unknown to me. Is there really that much of a boat anchor effect of Romney being a Mormon? I hope not.
The Quinnipiac University poll also found that former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani leads the Republican contenders among voters in Ohio, which tipped the 2004 election for President Bush. Giuliani is favored by 31 percent of Republicans, compared with 20 percent for Sen. John McCain, 8 percent for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and 6 percent each for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and actor and former Sen. Fred Thompson.
