Giuliani Notes: Rudy 34% McCain 20% Thompson 13% Romney 10%
The WaPO Analysis:
Former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani remains the leader in the GOP race, but the poll suggests that the surge in support he received after declaring his candidacy has stalled and that his backing of abortion rights and gay rights has caused more Republicans to turn away from him.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona runs second in the GOP race, but the poll results raise questions about his candidacy. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who has spent millions on television ads already this year, has in some ways become an attractive alternative over the past few months, and former senator Fred D. Thompson of Tennessee shows the potential to quickly make the GOP contest a four-way battle.
Frankly, after looking at the numbers Flap has a hard time understanding the WaPO’s thinking.
Rudy continues to lead in double digits and in many favorable characteristics. So, he is not leading as much? Before Thompson entered the race and Romney has run television commercials.
And these differences are STATISTICALLY significant?
Poor analysis from WaPO.
Rudy continues to be the frontrunner.

Iran Nuclear Watch: COUNTDOWN to Israel’s End
Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (R) waits during meeting with the Director General of the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) Abdul Aziz Bin Osman Al-Tajviri in Tehran May 20, 2007. Iran is close to achieving its “ultimate goals”, Ahmadinejad said on Thursday, accusing the West of trying to stop Tehran’s nuclear programme in order to reduce its influence in the world.
Iran president sees “countdown” to Israel’s end
Iran’s president said on Sunday the Lebanese and the Palestinians had pressed a “countdown button” to bring an end to Israel.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who triggered outrage in the West two years ago when he said Israel should be “wiped off the map”, has often referred to the destruction of the Jewish state but says Iran is not a threat.
“With God’s help, the countdown button for the destruction of the Zionist regime has been pushed by the hands of the children of Lebanon and Palestine,” Ahmadinejad said in a speech.
“By God’s will, we will witness the destruction of this regime in the near future,” he said. He did not elaborate.Yet, President Bush wishes to continue a “diplomatic approach” to Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
Is Ahamdinejad trying to push Israel PM Olmert’s or Bush’s button prior to the G-8 meeting that starts Wednesday? Or is he just stating the inevitable.
The “NUCLEAR POINT OF NO RETURN” is at hand.
If the United States and Israel wait much longer, the “nuclear blackmail” will begin.
Or has it already started?
