Decision 2008: New Poll shows Giuliani still on top and Biden announces.

Delaware U.S. Senator and Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Joe Biden once again stated he will make a bid for the presidency next year on NBC's Meet the Press and stated he will file papers to form an exploratory committee soon. Still no word yet on Senators and Democratic frontrunners Clinton and Obama's decisions and plans about 2008. Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel will make his decision about 2008 soon whether he will run for president, run for reelection, or just retire altogehter from politics.

In a new poll from Rasmussen, Former New York City Mayor and GOP frontrunner Rudy Giuliani holding a narrow edge over NY senator Hillary Clinton and fmr. Vice President Al Gore. These new polls bring hope back to the GOP about retaining the white house after other polls started showing democrats taking the lead. After the loss of 2006 the GOP will work desperately to try to regain congress which is unlikely or retain the white house. Since the campaign's start way back in December 2004, polls showed McCain another GOP frontrunner ahead of dems by 8+ points, but now numbers have evened. Giuliani wasn't conseidered a possible candidate until late 2005.
