If you are playing it safe with less than a week to go before the Iowa Caucuses, it may well mean that you know you have things in the bag.
Of course, it may also mean that you are about to be set up for a huge fall. And I'm not sure that crowds at Clinton campaign events will appreciate not having their questions taken. By all accounts, the race in Iowa is still a close run thing. Arrogance on the part of one candidate may make all of the difference between winning and losing.

He's been shrilling agianst Fred since he entered the race. Fred is 3rd with numbers improving in th RCP chart and I don't know what the heck Novak is talking about.

I'm not sure about a poll of 15,000 Republicans regarding Thompson, but from watching Fox News, reading the daily papers, one might think that Thompson has stopped campaigning. I hear Ron Paul's name on radio and TV more than his. I know there's people out there that love this guy, but I'm going with my gut feel: he played a cute game over the summer regarding his interest in running, then waited until September to jump in, and from what I've seen and heard, has been nothing short of dreadful regarding his campaign modus operandi. Hell, his wife created more excitement then him. I have no idea why he thought this was a good idea; and people who were excited about his entering the campaign have every right to be disappointed.
Robert Novak has a column at Townhall that has lots of inside information. I don't know how reliable it is. But it describes a poll of 15,000 Republican Iowa caucus goers and only shows Fred Thompson with 1 percent support. We'll see how accurate that poll is. I have a hard time believing that Fred could be doing that poorly.
