Rudy Leads GOP Prez Hopefuls

Rudy Giuliani's exploratory committee put out some very positive poll numbers for Hizzoner. Check them out here: http://www.joinrudy2008.com/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=19580 .

There are good national poll number for Rudy as well and the Real Clear Politics average has him up by 5 percentage points over McCain.

There is some debate about Rudy's social issue positions (pro-choice, pro-gay marriage) which lead some to doubt that he can win the GOP nomination. (Not to mention my personal view that an Italian from New York has an uphill struggle in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, .... , well the South).

But I truly believe that Rudy's character and steadfast leadership qualities are trumping "positions". Voters know that "politicians" have "positions"; leaders stand for things and get things done. Rudy is one of the few candidates who fall clearly into the latter category.
