A new poll shows former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani expanding his lead over Arizona Senator John McCain among Republican primary voters for the 2008 GOP nomination.
Both are out on the hustings. Both are getting more and more “face time” on cable news networks in terms of coverage and “live” interviews. Both are trying to shore up pockets of resistance among the GOP electorate. Interesting, both are reputed to have short-fuses. Will one of them shoot themselves in the foot with an ill-advised remark or reaction?
Meanwhile, McCain is making it clear that there will be no retreat on his stance backing the administration to solidify its Iraq surge and the war itself.
