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%.

Romney is a steady force just like the Tortoise and the Rabbit and we know who won that race!:)
Good luck with that. .. The only other alternative is Romney, IMO, who might have more going for him than it looks like now.
I think one day, when humanity is better understood, we will know that we were killing people in the womb, just as germans know now they were killing people, and just as we know now we were enslaving and killing people in our past.
Yes, there was a time when we treated people like property, and deemed then "less than human" and killed them without any concern of being held to blame.
Don't you think there were germans who were arguing that jews were really persons and should not be killed, while others argued the opposite? Don't you think those germans arguing for non-personhood thought they were people of "good conscience" who had science on their side?
A lot of people do find it easier to imagine that an entire nation of people were actually devils incarnate, like Ted Bundy. But most Germans were people like you and me, convinced by their government, their scientists, their culture, and their society that jews weren't human and therefore didn't need to be treated like people.
Just like most people in our country are convinced that people can't be really 'people' until they are separated from their mothers.
Yes, I think the ferret thing is one of those issues where Rudy was more of an authoritarian than a liberal.
A liberal would allow you to have ferrets, but tax them.
I guess in the 1930's, Nazis didn't even consider themselves Nazis.

Unless she's had a major "lift" that could very well be Hillary!
Quick trigger finger. :)
OH MY GOSH!! Giuliani has NO discipline whatsoever. He makes stupid impulsive decisions, and then tries to fix them when the fall out starts. He hits on everything that moves, and uses public money to support/protect/transport his mistresses.
Interesting. It's still early and anyone could make a mistake. I noticed that McCain has said he's not going to make his fund raising goal for this quarter. I don't know how Rudy is doing money wise?
My guess is that because Feb 5th is going to be such an important primary date - making Iowa, NH and SC all the more important - a candidate is not going to just need boatloads of money - they are going to need healthy organizations in each state. I just don't know if there really is a luxury of waiting very long to enter this race.
Right now I am on a thread where I dissent from the notion that Nazi genocide is the same as abortion. No one agrees with me. Either I or the others in the thread are in the asylum.
Rudy is a Nazi symp as it were. Read the thread.
And there you have it. I once had a French client, who opined that he would not trust any politician that did not have a mistress.
This is completely untrue. I'd like to see a poll that shows 70 percent of Republicans are "uncomfortable" with Rudy Giuliani. I could just as easily say that since Fred Thompson gets only 12 percent, 88 percent are uncomfortable with him.
On the one hand, I have been hearing that "once Republicans find out about that scoundrel Giuliani's librul record, why, they'll see he's nuthin' but a LIBRUL." Now you say they know him well enough to be uncomfortable.
Rudy's numbers right now are roughly parallel to the numbers Reagan had a year before the first primary. They are right where he wants them to be.
The polls show him to have very low negatives, much lower than Gingrich and McCain, even with Republicans. That doesn't suggest "uncomfortable" to me, but rather uninvolved a year before the election.
If the thing plays out as it should, the remaining undecideds will split in about the same proportions as the decideds. I think you folks are vastly overestimating the importance of abortion and guns, and underestimating the importance of hard work, perserverance and bulldogged determination, which are Giuliani hallmarks. People like and respect Rudy Giuliani in this party. And they see that he is a self-made winner with tremendous executive capability, who will contrast nicely against Hillary Clinton, who got there via her husband's apron strings. I detect no discomfort at all.
As to Thompson. If some sort of deal were in the works to keep him out, for example the Veep or SCOTUS, and Giuliani wanted to see if there was anything Thompson might want to stay out, who would be the go between? Ed Gillespie, maybe? Just a thought.
A Rudy/Thompson ticket IMO would be a winning team for the Republican's in the 2008 general election.
They are not the same but at least equally offensive, because abortion targets the most innocent and defenseless of all human life.
I like Fred - but it is, unfortunately, sad to see the worst of the worst here - leading the charge for him.
"They are not the same but at least equally offensive, because abortion targets the most innocent and defenseless of all human life."
Exactly the point.
