Straight Talk Express Seems To Have Derailed
John McCain
Tanned, Rested And Ready?
Newt Gingrich

I think it's a two-horse race: McCain vs. Giuliani. And I think either one beats anybody from the Left. My guess, uninformed as it may be...
McCain's star has faded, I think. Neo-cons don't like his politics. General population hates his stance on the war. Cloth coat Republicans are turned off by his pandering to the far right.
Giuliani has more mojo these days. And I agree with you that he'd trump any of the Democratic contendors. I personally don't have as much of a problem with him as many of my progressive bretheren do. Maybe, it's because living in Chicago for so long got me used to mayor-as-benevolent-dictator. Maybe, it's because I never lived in NYC while Rudy was running the show.
The Republican candidates are all so bad this year, I might not even vote.
