Decision 2008: Presidential Power Rankings #33

Sorry about not posting our rankings, but with the Ames Straw Poll and Friday's show I was too busy. I may have to delay next week's rankings and posts, because I go back to work full-time next week.

Republicans

1st: Mitt Romney (steady) Ames Straw Poll win gives him the #1 spot, but when the actual polls come in and Mitt is behing Rudy liek we expect we shall postion him in 3rd. Mitt's straw poll win may be overhudged sine McCain and Rudy weren't in the poll.

2nd: Rudy Giuliani (steady) National polls still lean his way and polls in IA and NH are coming his way, but we still dont expect him to win the nomination.

3rd: Fred Thompson (steady) He wasn't even on the ballot and he got a strong finish at Ames. Southern polls give him strength and the only one that can stop him from sweeping it is Mike Huckabee.

4th: John McCain (steady) McCain still looks to be out of this race, but we still see him taking the nomination. No matter how bad it gets.

5th: Mike Huckabee (steady) Huckabee finished 2nd even after not spending too much money on Ames. This shows his strong support in Iwa and polls show him tied with McCain in Iowa so he may yet have something to say in this race.

Democrats

1st: Hillary Clinton (rising) Her polls keep going up and up and he expect her now to curise to the nomination. Her other challengers just dont have what it takes to beat her.

2nd: Barack Obama (falling) Obama is falling in polls and SC is now leaning for Hillary. I dont see a way that he can comeback and top Hillary.

3rd: John Edwards (falling) He should start considering vying for veep or in Hillary's cabinet the way his campaign is going.

4th: Bill Richardson (steady) The only Democrat whose polls aren't dropping. He seems to be vying for veep then trying for president.

5th: Joe Biden (steady) He denied that he would seek a position on a Democrat's cabinet and looks to be president. Like we have said he will not be in a cabinet and he will win another term in the senate.
