Maybe I missed something but, when did Thompson announce his candidacy?
Also, how does this explain the dramatic drop in the McCain support?
Remember that McCain lost more support than Thompson gained.
Has something happened over the last month that might account for the big McCain drop.
1. Thompson formed an exploratory committee (

2. It does not indicate a drop in support, but rather a drop in chance of winning the nomination
3. It shows that people feel that Thompson's entrance has to eliminate someone and because of his recent catastrophe's topped off by the immigration bill, that person is McCain
