From a reader in Kentucky:

Jonah,
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like Fred, but they all support someone else because they don’t think he can win. If he gets a small bounce in the polls after tonight’s performance, it could very well translate into a large bounce once it looks like he has a chance. As evidence, my recent May-December romance with McCain came to an abrupt end tonight with a Fred ‘08 donation.
