Fred Thompson still dominate the online straw polls by a significant margin: Unannounced presidential candidate Fred Thompson easily leads all announced candidates in an online poll by the American Family Association, one of the nation’s leading conservative Christian and pro-family groups.

Is Pelosi admitting that she’s not giving the American people what they want?
