Giuliani Registers in Iowa

And he appears to be ahead there in early polling.

OK, it's still 17 months and counting to the Iowa Precinct Caucuses of 2008, but name-recognition is everything in the early stages of any contest.

And in Iowa, the Republican name that is registering with likely Iowa caucus-goers at this early stage is Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, who has drawn the support of 30 percent of likely GOP caucus-goers surveyed by a Davenport, Iowa-based firm called Victory Enterprises.

Update: Giuliani has been donating quite a bit of money to Republican candidates lately, in addition to donating a lot of his time.

The really impressive thing... (Below threshold)

The really impressive thing is that he is pulling almost double McCain's support of 17.5%. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is third with 6.5%.

And Allen, Romney, Pataki, Brownback, and Mike Huckabee all trail some guy named "Margin of Error."

That said, we need to remember that a poll eighteen months ahead of the caucuses means little more than fodder for conversation amongst us political junkies.

It's soooo easy to wreck even the most promising campaign. Mitt Romney's father, then-Governor of Michigan George Romney, sank his with a single word: "brainwashed." If he had said the Generals "sugar-coated" the Vietnam situation instead, he might have given Nixon a run for it in 1968.

Ed Muskie blew his almost-certain nomination by crying in the New Hampshire snow. Gary Hart was riding high until he challenged reporters to "follow me." They did - to Donna Rice's apartment.

It's entirely possible someone we haven't even heard mentioned as a candidate will win Iowa a year and a half from now. Remember in 1974, they kept saying, "Jimmy WHO?"

;-)

Hopeful sign. I am so OVER... (Below threshold)

Hopeful sign. I am so OVER McCain and have been for YEARS! He's another politician whose ambition far outstrips his abilities.
