The National Right to Life's endorsement hasn't saved Fred Thompson's campaign from sliding behind in New Hampshire, where the libertarian Ron Paul and the true social conservative Mike Huckabee have proven to hold more appeal. In the latest CNN poll, in which Mitt Romney maintains a strong lead with 33 percent, Thompson has fallen into sixth place. Thompson only picked up a feeble 4 percent in the CNN poll, and 50 PERCENT of people polled said they would not support him "under any circumstances." His insipid campaign even has his formal supporters in Washington grumbling that they will ditch him soon after voters do on Feb. 5.
Meanwhile, the proselytizing of Mike Huckabee has won him enough support in Iowa to put him neck-and-neck with Romney in that state. His call to keep the White House occupied by evangelicals has also won the endorsement of Christian conservative organizer Tim LaHaye, whose wife runs Concerned Women for America. He and his wife have sent out emails appealing to voters in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina to vote for Huckabee. In keeping with his fabulous Chuck Norris endorsement, Huckabee can also now claim the support of WWE wrestler Ric Flair, a.k.a. "The Nature Boy," and rock star Ted Nugent. Can we get all of these people together in an ad to follow up the Chuck Norris ad with, please?
