Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

A new NBC/WSJ poll shows just how wide open this race has become:

Giuliani 20%
Romney 20%
Huckabee 17%
McCain 14%
Thompson 11%

This is some bad news for Rudy Giuliani who is seeing his entire strategy slowly undermined. Giuliani has largely ignored the early primary states in favor of a Big State Strategy that includes Florida on Jan. 29 and the Tsunami Tuesday states on Feb. 5. The thinking was that he wouldn't need to perform well in the early states because he could use his national support as a starting point. Now, if this trend continues he may not even make it that far.
