Giuliani leads McCain by 16 percentage points, a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll finds.

WASHINTON (CNN) -- Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has opened up a double-digit lead over Arizona Sen. John McCain in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll out Monday indicates.

Thirty-four percent of registered Republicans support Giuliani, while 18 percent support McCain, the poll finds. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney are each tied at nine percent in the poll.

In a similar CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll conducted at the end of January, McCain trailed Giuliani by only six percentage points, registering 26 percent to Giuliani's 34 percent.

Please explain: Rudy poses an "imminent threat to the Conservative movement" how?

I fully agree that Rudy is not a textbook conservative. I'll even grant you that he's liberal on some issues.

But I thought it was the voters who chose the Republican nominee. Is that not correct? So, if Rudy were nominated, who would be responsible for making that choice? The voters, right?

In that case, aren't you saying that it's your fellow Republicans who aren't buying your version of the "conservative movement" or who at least see conservatism as a political philosophy more pragmatically?

IOW, given your view of the import of a Rudy nomination, don't you have a larger problem than Rudy Giuliani? And, that said, isn't the solution required something larger than simply stopping Rudy?

You will quickly find out that it's not okay to be a single issue voter if the other guy doesn't agree with what your single issue is.

But hang in there.

Rudy's stand on terrorism is "different" and "better" because he has some actual experience dealing with it, and I don't refer only to 9/11.

Name one other candidate who has had to actually deal with the bastards in an up-close, personal way, or who has had any significant executive-level leadership crises to deal with.

Oh, we lost?

And here I thought the primaries didn't even start until next year.

Get real.

Just out of curiousity, do you think this kind of name calling wins people to your side, or are you so desperate that you just don't care?

Why don't you answer your own question?

Let me put it to you this way: why do you think Rudy Giuliani is the front-runner?

If you're convinced Rudy can't run a successful campaign, why all the hyperventilating that he might run a successful campaign?

If those opposed to Rudy are so convinced he cannot win, why do they accuse those who support Rudy of caring only about winning? Why would that matter if winning was not likely?

You can almost hear the wheels spinning in their heads, trying to work that one out. ;-)
