Some interesting thoughts from Rich Galen. I don't agree with him on everything, but I think it is pretty clear that he's right that currently, Fred Thompson is hurting Giuliani the most.

PING

[RockinRight]

Imagine a Thompson vs. Gore race.

That could be interesting.

[APRPEH]

"leaving the door open" had generated a level of support which had him at 12%.

when the door actually does open, look out!!!!

Key line:

* Rudy Giuliani is still popular with the GOP base but he, as I may have written before, will have a growing problem as more people become better acquainted with his official positions and personal background.

[freedomfiter2]

Giuliani is throwing away his one chance to become President by running as a Republican instead of a Democrat.

I hope and pray to God that Fred does run. The GOP has become far too liberal for my liking. It's time for us to return to the core conservative values we had under President Reagan and if there is anyone that can get us back there it's Fred.

[B Knotts]

BTW, I think Rich Galen is exactly right about Romney. He had better start generating some excitement soon, or he might as well stop raising money.

As important as fundraising is, it can't replace support.

Gore has so much gravitas, he has to keep buying bigger suits.

New Graphic! Help yourself.

Thompson would eat Gore's lunch,iMo.

[LS]

Yep. Look, the Dems desperately want Algore to run so they can "have their Clinton and eat it too," without having to stomach Hillary. He has a tremendous amount of support from the moonbat wing.

Fred is drawing from Rudy now, but if he enters for sure, I think he'll pull from Rudy/Romney/Newt and everyone else except McCain. I don't know where McCain's 20% comes from, but I do know that in a general they would back EITHER Rudy or Thompson. The same can't be said of the Newt people.

So, in order (including electability), my favorites are: Fred Thompson, Mitt, Rudy, anyone but McCain.

Does anyone have an alternative theory as to why Giuliani would slide 13 points? Was it something he said?
On the contrary, it would seem that Rudy has gotten a lot of positive coverage lately. Hannity, in particular, was very accommodating to RG in a recent interview.

Thirteen points. Where's the macaca?

[Teacher317]

Please, oh PLEASE, let it be Gore vs Thompson!!!!!

[ChiTownBearFan]

* GOP voters are smarter than your average voter, they already know, and they really dont care if he doesnt please the whole party, he can beat Clinton and Obama, keep telling yourself Fred Thompson can, you'll have 4 years of Hillary to realize how wrong that is.

[DenverGal]

That would be perfect...Thompson would carry almost every state

[TommyDale]

"Does anyone have an alternative theory as to why Giuliani would slide 13 points?"

Sure. Conserviatives are now starting to wake up to Giuliani's wrongful positions on abortion, partial birth abortion, homosexual agenda, gun control, embryonic stem cell research, illegal immigration, global warming, etc.
