Decision 2008: Brownback takes first step.


Kansas U.S. Senator Sam Brownback has filed paperwork to form an exploratory committee for a possible White House run. Brownback has been specutating a possible run since 2004 and has been visiting key stated like Iowa and New Hampshire countless times. He has really hit Iowa hard hoping to win there in 56 weeks. More polling data is out on the Presidential Race of 2008 from Rasmussen and here are what they say.

Rasmussen Reports


Republican Primary
(R)Rudy Giuliani 31%
(R)John McCain 22%
(R)Newt Gingrich 14%


Democratic Primary
(D)Hillary Clinton 34%
(D)Barack Obama 17%
(D)Tom Vilsack 1%


General Election Match-Ups
(R)John McCain 48%
(D)Hillary Clinton 44%


(R)Rudy Giuliani 48%
(D)Hillary Clinton 43%

Hillary Clinton is down since last polling when she was tied with Giuliani and stands about the same against McCain. What is surprising is that Giuliani has 5 point lead over Clinton while McCaiin only has a 4 point lead. Also Giuliani is up in Primary polls but these are the first to show Giuliani with such a wide lead. Most show McCain and Giuliani neck and neck. Mitt Romney wasn't even included this time which is sad.
