Giuliani and Romney Tied in Republican Race
According to the Wall Street Journal, Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani are now tied in the national polls. 20% of Republicans say they support either Giuliani or Romney. Mike Huckabee is third with 17%.
Giuliani started out as the frontrunner, but I think we can now conclude that he’s no longer the GOP’s frontrunner. There are no frontrunners, there are only people with a shot, and people who don’t stand a chance.
At this point in time, I think that Romney is the favorite, with a slight edge over Huckabee, Giuliani and McCain (who could in theory make a comeback).

Quoting Bob Dylan from Isis .. "That’s the best news that I’ve ever heard."
Frankly, I think the Democrats would rather run against ANYONE but Dr. Ron Paul. Much as we’d like politics to be positive, it is in fact ruled almost entirely by negatives. For instance, what’s the biggest negative the Republican Party is facing in 2008? Iraq – a staggering 70% of people favor IMMEDIATE withdrawl from Iraq. Who is the only candidate that doesn’t have that negative? Dr. Paul, who advocates using those trillions of dollars to secure our border (perhaps against Saudis who were 20 of the 24 terrorists in 9/11) and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure which is far more worrying than the loss of Social Security. Hm, full employment, withdrawl from Iraq and a huge boost to our economy from rebuilding our infrastructure – what Democrat wants to run against that? They’d look like the Republican in the group! Republican party used to be real good once upon a time – Dr. Paul wants to return it to its roots!
