This means only one thing: the Giuliani Poll-Engineering Team ("we give good polls") will spring into action.
The Team is looking for people to poll even as we type----people who have no idea they are voting for Rudy---until the push-pollsters get them on the phone.
ain’t no way I’m voting for McCain.
He’s part of the reason we are at where we are now.
His Gang of 14 is the reason more judges of conservative bent aren’t on the bench now.
He’s a recent convert to the supply side. Those tax cut cold have been permanent now, if he had used the platform the liberal press gave him on Sunday morning to press for there approval.
He’s for Shamesty too.
So he’s for the war. It used to be a time when every Republican was a hawk on defense.
I look at him, and I see a future yes man for Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.
Good. I don’t understand why those who think terrorism (as opposed to internal decay) is our greatest national threat think Rudy is the one to lead us in the WOT. What has he done besides gives speeches? Until the 9/11 TV appearances, his political career was circling the porcelin bowl for the last time.
Sorry, if the alternative is McLame, give me Rudy. I will not vote for McCrazy, period. Hillary’s evil behavior I can predict, but McCrazy is utterly nuts.
Oh wait, I thought these polls meant nothing this early on to the anti-Rudy people. The only poll that was credible was Rasmussen. Well check it out today. From a week ago Rudy is at 33% (+6), McCain is at 19% (+3), Thompson is at 13% (-1), and Romney remains at 12%. How can that be?
McCain(fascist) elbowing Guiliani(socialist) out of the way is a mixed blessing at best.
Unscientific poll. Meaningless. Somebody wanted to show that McCain was rising in the polls because of his Iraq stance.
Recent straw polls of GOP insiders in SC, where McCain used to be strong in 2000, show him plummeting. Unscientific, too, but a better leading indicator.

2008 Republican Presidential Primary -Giuliani 33% McCain 19% Thompson 13% (New Rasmussen)
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Arizona Senator John McCain both gained support this week in the race for the GOP nomination. Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney held steady and remain the only other Republicans earning double digit support.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of the Republican Presidential Primary competition finds Giuliani at 33%, fourteen points ahead of McCain’s 19%. Thompson is still in third at 13% slightly ahead of Romney at 11%. For Giuliani, that’s his highest level of support in three weeks. It’s McCain’s best showing since early March. Last week, it was Giuliani 27% McCain 16% Thompson 14% and Romney 12%.

Yecch. Please don't make me vomit.
CONFIRMING, YET AGAIN, WHAT SOME OF US HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG, FRED THOMPSON'S ONLY ROLE IN THE RACE IS TO HELP MCCAIN.
All those so anxious for Fred Thompson to get into the race are only helping McCain, and subsequently Hillary.
Oooh the guy that doesn’t respect the First Ammendment is gaining on the guy that doesn’t respect the Second. What a grand cause for celebration. /sarc
