On the other hand...your dismissal of him due to an Iowa straw poll that he chose not to participate in is pretty weak. Even with a screwed up non-campaign he is in a statistical tie with Guiliani (despite losing ground recently) and is way ahead of Romney. Here's the data. Don't be surprised to see him ahead by this time next month once he announces and gets some media coverage.

Thompson is the "none of the above" candidate in a field of weak candidates. When/if he finally gets in the race, he'll be torn to pieces. His appeal right now is that he
isn't Giuliani, McCain or Romney.
