THOMPSON'S UNCONVENTIONAL WISDOM
I don't know yet whether it is just wishful thinking on my part, but I'm seeing the same dynamic that played out in the 1992 Democratic Senate primary and ultimately the general race here in Wisconsin. Russ Feingold had no money and no public-poll support throughout the primary race against Jim Moody and Joe Checota, but by playing up his underdog status, playing to the base of his party, and taking advantage of the mud Moody and Checota threw at each other, he took the primary with 70% of the vote, and then upset incumbent Bob Kasten in the general.
Now, the self-funded Mitt Romney and not-so-well-funded Mike Huckabee are trading body blows, while well-funded Rudy Giuliani has chosen a liberal-states stragedy (intentional misspell). Thompson is positioned to take full advantage of that.

I'm in (again). While the Thompson campaign currently has enough to run the "Substance" ad a couple days, they're still $26,896 short of being able to keep it on through the day of the caucus as of 2:45 pm Central.
We Marbleheads have to bring this one home so that we become legion.
