McCain? Rudy? Don't count on it
The liberal Carpet Bagger blog points out how meaningless the polls for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination are at this stage. To prove its case, the Carpet Bagger has posted a January 2003 Fox News poll:
Joe Lieberman -- 29 percent
Dick Gephardt -- 15
John Kerry -- 13
John Edwards -- 8
Al Sharpton -- 5
Howard Dean -- 2
Lieberman? Gephardt? Kerry in the middle of the pack? And that was further along than we are in the race to 2008. I happen to agree with John Hawkins:
"Don't get too worked up about McCain and Giuliani slugging it out at the top of the polls while everyone else drags behind. They're getting by on name recognition at this point and as people take a harder look at the positions and other candidates get more press, it'll start to turn into a real horse race."
