PoliticalDerby.com is out with its latest power rankings for the 2008 Republican and Democratic presidential horse race. It's Rudy Giuliani in the lead followed by Mitt Romney, John McCain and Fred Thompson.
Here's a bit of what PoliticalDerby.com had to say about each of the GOP's Big Four...
Giuliani - Plenty of pundits and bloggers are wondering how long Mr. Teflon II can deflect controversy and bridge his deep ideological gap with the GOP base
Romney - He's doing well on the ground in places like South Carolina, winning a surprising number of county strawpolls, but he needs to start seeing a return on that Q1 investment quickly in the national polls that make the 6:00 news.
McCain - He's still the establishment favorite with a shiny bus, but his momentum is AWOL.
Thompson - Fred's ranking is lofty for someone not actually running for president, but how can you ignore a guy whose numbers are so sky high? His dog and pony show on the Hill got raves and there are rumored to be dozens of lawmakers ready to endorse his candidacy.
On the Democratic side, Barack Obama is now tied with Hillary Clinton, and the strongest up-mover is New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson.
