State of the race







From super-blogger Chris Bowers comes the above charts on the state of the race so far. A couple notes. First of all, Romney should be considered the front-runner, not Giuliani. The national polls don't matter, and Romney can finance his own campaign to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, so the cash on hand is no impediment for him. Wins in Iowa and New Hampshire, and Romney would have a huge edge on Giuliani. Secondly, Obama is making inroads in Iowa at the expense of Edwards. Hillary's lead in Iowa could change as the campaign steps up, and as Obama starts spending his cash. These races are up in the air.
