Recent Evans and Novak E-mail details Newt's strenght

Thompson-Gingrich:
The two big Republican "non-candidates" for President -- former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) and former Sen. Fred Thompson -- topped a recent Oklahoma straw poll. Thompson took 38 percent and Gingrich took 15. This comes as yet another sign that Republican discontent for the big three candidates -- Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, and Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) -- overwhelms the Republican side of the presidential equation. Giuliani, who placed third, had only 9 percent.

Gingrich continues to hold his powder, hinting that any announcement will wait until the fall. Thompson, starting far behind in the money chase for the Republican presidential nomination, is considering adopting the 2004 tactics used by Democrat Howard Dean (D-Vt.) to raise campaign money via the Internet. All the signs of discontent at the grassroots level suggest that he could succeed in doing this.
