Today Fmr. New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani filed a official statement not paperwork with the FEC to run for president. I expect Giuliani to announce soon. He has been very quiet since he formed his exploratory committee back in November. He has just recently set up a website for his ex.committee and has just started visiting key states. Now the question is will his lead hold. Currently he leads a crowded field of candidates, becuase of his fame from the tragic 9/11 disaster. Is that enough to bring him from city hall to the White House. Giuliani is questioned for his liberal views on gay marriage, gun control, and abortion. Giuliani could lose his lead becuase of this. The GOP hasn't picked a liberal candidate in years. New polls from the American Research Group show a slip in Giuliani's lead. He is not tied for 2nd in NH and only has a 5 point lead in Iowa. The polls show: Iowa GOP Giuliani 27%, McCain 22%, Gingrich 16% and Romney 11%. In NH the poll showed McCain 27% Giuliani 20%, Romney 20%, and Gingrich 11%. Among Democrats in Iowa it showed Clinton 35%, Edwards 18%, Obama 14%, and Vilsack 12%. In NH Clinton 39%, Obama 19%, and Edwards 13%. These are different numbers from other polls. Other polls in Iowa and NH show Edwards and Obama way ahead of Clinton so it is unclear who is winning so far.
