This one surprised me a little bit. The latest FOX News Poll pits McCain against Hillary Clinton and then against Barack Obama. Here were the results:
“Thinking ahead to the next presidential election, if the 2008 general election were held today and the candidates were Democrat [see below] and Republican [see below], for whom would you […]

Almost every presidential poll from early 2005 until now has shown Rudy Giuliani or John McCain (Giuliani more often than McCain) to be the frontrunner for the GOP nomination, with the only other potential challenger being Condoleezza Rice (whom most assume will not run). So the question is, are we looking pretty much at a […]

We have heard the rumors this past week that Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Ken Mehlman is likely to leave his current position, will probably open up his own political consulting firm, and could end up on the 2008 presidential campaign staff of Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
And Mehlman may be just the start of some real sparks that […]

Over the last day or so, there’s been a trickle of Google traffic with the keywords “Mehlman” and “Giuliani.” Now I know why.
Apparently, on Chris Matthews’s show yesterday, Kathleen Parker speculated that Ken Mehlman would join the Giuliani camp afte…

No, he did not, but I could easily see this clip becoming McCain’s drag video: The full context of the quote is up on Drudge, and it is pretty clear that McCain misspoke. But good luck stopping anyone who wants to use this at an opportune moment…

So says Andrew Sullivan: As Jon Stewart said of John McCain, Giuliani has turned his straight talk express into a bus to bulls**t-town. The Stranger notices the U-turn.
Keep the attacks coming, Andrew. They’ll come in very handy in South Carolina!

Maggie Haberman of the New York Post reports today as does Richard Perez-Pena of the New York Times and John DiStaso of the Manchester (NH) Union Leader that as Mayor Giuliani campaigns for Repbulican candidates in New Hampshire he appears to be in no hurry to commit to a presidential run in 2008. Also note that Mayor […]

As noted by Kavon, we’ve gotten a trickle of New Hampshire polling after a recent dearth of it. McCain leads the field based on residual goodwill from 2000, with 32 percent of the vote. Rudy is at 19 percent and Mitt Romney is at 15 percent. What’s my perspective on this poll as a Giuliani […]

Or: “Is Lieberman more conservative than McCain?”
