The latest USA Today/Gallup poll, conducted Friday through Sunday, on the presidential race is out, and it's a humdinger. It's hard to say what the headline even is. Here are a few tries, though:

* Romney's support drops to within the margin of error of not existing (that's 3% support in a poll where the margin of error is 3%).

* Giuliani's support drops 13 percentage points since the last USA Today/ Gallup poll, March 2-4 (that's gotta hurt).

* Fred Thompson (not running, by the way) is now the No. 3 in the GOP field, at 12%.

If he thinks that Dingbat is smart, or qualified, then he is NOT qualified to select any judge.

Rudy has about 50 things that individually tell me he is unfit for office. Collectively they tell me he is fit for the left wing of the Democrat party.

If Gingrich had made the same sort of announcement, he'd be at 25,

That is what people call a "WAG"!

You're an articulate poster, even though we disagree. I have to concede that.

[rockrr]

You really should condense that a bit. I tried to read it (really I did!) but after a while my eyes started drifting. They continued to drift until they focussed on "GIULIANI IS A JERK". What's up with that? ;'}

[NittanyLion]

Yep. It's becoming more likely by the day that Rudy will become this election season's Howard Dean.

"Yep. It's becoming more likely by the day that Rudy will become this election season's Howard Dean."

Nah. Howard Dean's record is significantly more conservative than Rudy's. ;)

[EternalVigilance]

Yep. And, like Dean's demise, it will drive liberals mad...

[Graymatter]

Pesky numbers! Reagan was 69 when he ran for his first term, and a couple weeks shy of 70 when inaugurated.
Thompson is now 64. Born 8-19-42. Same birthday as Clinton; different year.

[Pistolshot]

I stand corrected.

I hope you realize that this whole Rudy-is-a-libertarian thing is completely offensive to libertarians. The guy is the antithesis of libertarianism.

[jmc813]

They have a clear cut strategy in place as to how to convince the Starbucks crowd to support Fred Thompson, and the fact that he is running at the AMAZING UNBELIEVABLE FIGURE OF 13 PERCENT!!!

When the guy ISN'T EVEN RUNNING.

Well sir, there is age, and then there is mileage.

No lie, everyone here knows about rudy's high mileage. :)

[stephenjohnbanker]

LOL!

[FredHunter08]

"LOL!"

It's actually not much of a joke. It's true.

Rudy's to the left of Howard Dean.

[streetpreacher]

Mileage? Rudi's wet and rode hard.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I could see a Rudy/Hillary ticket as compatible.

[FredHunter08]

"I could see a Rudy/Hillary ticket as compatible."

Just like peas in a pod.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Rudy was in Newport Beach an lied like a rug about his stance on guns. The biggest flip/flop in American history. He lies just like the Clintons.

[streetpreacher]

It was 50% exactly. He had higher negatives than Hillary, which I believe was 46%. You can't win an election with negatives that high.

If the Dems are foolish enough to nominate Hillary and Republicans don't go soft with a RINO, it's going to be a slaughter in 2008. With Thompson vs. Hillary, who knows? We might even take back the House.

Too bad most don't realize that McCain and Kerry abandoned our POWs in order to normalize trade relations with the Communists.
