ReplyDeleteThis WSJ poll also shows a "slip":

But given the fact that Fred Thompson was supposed to eat away at Giuliani's support I would say a decline within the margin of error of the poll hardly merits the headline above!
I really didn't know much about Sen. Hagel, the more I read the more I liked. I read one column in particular that, though brief, really hit home. For me as a republican, Hagel would be the ideal candidate.
