A new poll puts Romney in the lead here in New Hampshire. I am skeptical. But, I have always believed that you should never put too much stock into any one poll. Look at all the polls together. If they all say the same thing, more or less, they are usually right, at least in terms of order of finish. Taken together, the polls here have McCain and Giuliani as the front-runners, with Romney doing well, and Fred Thompson showing up with some support without even campaigning (which is significant). If Thompson officially joins the race, expect the numbers to shift.
