Political Hay

(Page 2 of 2)

But Romney and Giuliani are still in the fight. A Reuters/C-Span/Zogby tracking poll taken 1/24 through 1/26 shows Romney and McCain tied at 30 percent in Florida. The Real Clear Politics average of polls taken between 1/20 and 1/26 shows Romney ahead at 27.1 percent and McCain at 26.7 percent. "Da Mare" is third with 17.1 percent and Huckabee trails at 14.7 percent.

So who will prevail on Tuesday? Will it be the conservative purists who can't choke down McCain's liberal history and dodgy positions on immigration and global warming? Or will it be those who see McCain as an inspiring American hero and leader, positions be damned? Those who like McCain as a man tend also to be those who, with some supporting evidence from polls that match up the various Republican candidates with the Democrat candidate, see McCain as the best way for the Republicans to avoid a 2008 case of presidential electile dysfunction.

Romney and Giuliani have a day and change to stop the McCain flurry.
