Decision 2008: Presidential Power Rankings Week #13: Giuliani and Hillary lead.



This is this week's rankings. Giuliani entering his 2nd straight week in the top spot, but can he hold it? McCain has started to campaign and within months the two will meet to debate. Hillary remains ahead with Edwards's slip this week, while Obama remains in his position.

1st: Rudolph Giuliani (steady) Giuliani is now officially in the race, and remains ahead withthe momentum, but will his lead hold with the McCain train starting its engine.

2nd: John McCain (rising) McCain's campaign is being set up and his train is leaving the station and the momentum could wing his way. McCain also keeps on rolling the money and endorsements. He needs to work hard to catch up with Giulani's bank.

3rd: Mitt Romney (rising) Romney is rising in polls and in money. He is raising jaw dropping amounts of money and we all know the 2 candidates who face off next November will need alot of money.

4th: Newt Gingrich (falling) Romney is steaming ahead of Gingrich and Gingrich's delay in campaigning may really hurt his chances. The only thing keeping him from being removed from the top 5 is his surprisingly great numbers.

5th: Chuck Hagel (rising) Hagel remains strong in key early states and is rising in national polls. If actually does run he may have a shot.

Democrats

1st: Hillary Clinton (steady) Clinton remains strong in early numbers, but bit by bit she is slowly dropping in support. She is the one to beat, but she hasn't got this won yet.

2nd: Barack Obama (steady) Obama's momentum has stopped and he remains in a distant 2nd in almost every poll. Obama needs an early win to take down the Hillary machine.

3rd: John Edwards (falling) Edwards slip this week may hurt him but he remains ahead in IA and SC 2 key early wins. Thiscould give him the momentum to take the nomination away from Hillary.

4th: Bill Richardson (steady) Richardson's experience has yet to show any strength , but it could in the future.

5th: Wesley Clark (steady) Clark is a long shot, but his 4-5% showing in early states may turn into something.
