Rudy Wins the Big One

It's time for the first results of the online poll organized by Patrick Ruffini (webmaster for the Bush-Cheney '04 presidential campaign) to find out who's the favorite presidential candidate for 2008 between the readers of right-wing American blogs. And the outcome is very interesting: leading the pack with 30.0% of the votes is the former New York major, Ruby Giuliani, followed by former Virginia governor, George Allen (20.2%) and former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich (14.3%). In the "fantasy ballot" (with candidates not expected to enter the race), Condoleezza Rice is dominating with 37.7%. Vicepresident Dick Cheeney with 14.0% and Florida governor, Jeb Bush (9.2%) follow her. Patrick Ruffini's analysis of the results is a must-read. (read the original post in italian)
