Decision 2008: Presidential Power Rankings week #15







Republicans:

1st: Rudolph Giuliani (falling) Giuliani is beginning is small, but expected dip in polls and support. New recent polls have shown his gigantic lead cut in half. Key states are also moving away from Giuliani's collum.

2nd: John McCain (rising) Finally McCain's support is moving on up. A Fox poll has him only down by 2 and American Research only has him down by 4. FL, MI, and SC have swung his direction lately and he has begun to increase his lead in NH and almost tie with Giuliani in Iowa.
The McCain Train is back on track.

3rd: Mitt Romney (rising) Romney now comes in close 3rds or even 2nds in NH and in MI he is gaining. Utah, an easy win for Romney is also moving up in primary dates so this might increase his momentum.

4th: Fred Thompson (rising) The buzz has just arrived about a possible Thompson run. After acting as the president he wants to become one and he is the top of political news this week. Should he decide to jump into the 2008 race he would really shake up the playing field.

5th Tied: Newt Gingirch (steady) Gingrich still remains 3rd or 4th in most polls and that is enough to get back into the race.

5th Tied: Chuck Hagel (steady) Still deciding whether to run or not, Hagel, being the strongest GOP opponent of the President would really skae up the field.

Democrats:

1st: Hillary Clinton (falling) Clinton's numbers continue to plummet as the first roud of the primaries comes to an end. Cand she rebound? We will say this race is still hers to lose.

2nd: Barack Obama (rising) NH, IA, MI, FL numbers for Obama are rising along with rising national support. Can a rockstar defeat the Queen of Democratic Politics?

3rd: John Edwards (steady) The only place Edwards is performing well in is Iowa and that is enough to keep him alive. If Florida and Michigan become scheduled the same week as South Carolina, I think Edwards will have a hard time stealing the momentum.

4th: Bill Richardson (steady) Richardson's experience in politics has yet to help his presidential ambitions. he has alot of work to do.

5th: Joe Biden (steady) Biden still has between 2-5% in some Super Tuesday states. This might revive an already dead campaign.

I still say that Gore is going to sneak in there and get the nomination.
But a fire on them all.
