The once and not-future crown prince of the Republican party appears to be lagging somewhat in today's New Hampshire primary, judging by the latest opinion poll from the Granite State.
Following up from his fantastic tied-for-third place finish in Iowa, Fred Thompson is surging backwards into 6th place - behind John McCain, Mitt, Romney ... well, everyone, even Ron Paul. True, New Hampshire doesn't have a great record in anointing the GOP nominee but they don't come from 6th place.
At least things can only get better, eh Fred fans? (Although the latest South Carolina poll only puts him 4th. Oh dear.)
Where is Fred? Not even in New Hampshire today - he's in South Carolina looking at antiques.
