Rudy Giuliani is the favourite presidential candidate for Republican Party sympathizers in the United States, according to a poll by Opinion Research Corporation released by CNN. 32 per cent of respondents would support the former New York City mayor in a 2008 primary.
Arizona senator John McCain is second with 26 per cent, followed by former House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich with nine per cent, and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney with seven per cent.
Support is lower for former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore, former New York governor George Pataki, Kansas senator Sam Brownback, Nebraska senator Chuck Hagel, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, California congressman Duncan Hunter, Texas congressman Ron Paul, Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo, and former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson.
On Jan. 25, Tancredo called for the abolition of race-based caucuses, saying, "It is utterly hypocritical for Congress to extol the virtues of a colour-blind society while officially sanctioning caucuses that are based solely on race—and restrict their membership based on race."
In American elections, candidates require 270 votes in the Electoral College to win the White House. In November 2004, Bush earned a second term after securing 286 electoral votes from 31 states. Democratic nominee John Kerry received 252 electoral votes from 19 states and the District of Columbia.
Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.

Pinging the list keeper.
The Bash-bots must have slept in this morning.
Just say NO to any and all RINOs.
If its not Rasmussen, you're wasting my time.
Last night on Hannity and Google, Dennis Miller did his weekly gig and declared his preference for a McCain/Giuliani ticket...
What would Duncan Hines say?
If I change my name to No Opinion and announce my candidacy, would I qualify for matching funds?
Please raise your hand if you trust anything from CNN.... anybody?
The MSM will do everything in their power to ensure that a RINO wins the GOP nomination. They have done a pretty good job of telling Republicans what they have to do do if they wish to win. Far too many on this board are enojoying their kool-aid. If we have to surrender in order to win, what do we win?
lol...you're wasting your own time. This article was clearly marked as Angus-Reid but you took the time to drop in and make a post.
No, but apparently, the true Conservatives were still sleeping, or working, when the left-wing media, DEM/RINO-loving, push-pollers called and ONLY talked to liberal DOLTS to get the poll outcomes they wanted.
Shouldn't McCain be on the Democrat List?
Well aren't you cute?
At least Duncan Hunter is a conservative and not crazy like McCain or a womanizer like Gulliani.
That shows, as far as Miller has come in breaking free from his liberal chains, he ain't where he needs to be yet.
What did I say?
If Rudi thinks NARAL is going to get him the nomination he's delusional.
Telephone interviews with 365 Republican American adults, conducted from Jan. 19 to Jan. 21, 2007. Margin of error is 5 per cent.
JUST as delusional as those on FR that think TRUE Conservatives, enough Southerners, enough Christians, enough gun owners/2nd Amendment supporters, etc. are going to actually VOTE for a scumbag RINO for President.
"But, in fact, this was a good week for conservatives; it was the week conservatives finally fought back and began reclaiming their party."
If you read the whole article, it seems to me a RINO want have a chance at the GOP bid for president.
If the conservatives with hold their money from the NRSC and the GOP, as many are saying they will do, we will be wondering in the desert for the next forty years.
