New York Pols On Top!
Not to delve overly into politics (which I do often enough whenever anyone’s in earshot of me) but I do find it intriguing that New York’s two candidates for their respective party’s nominee in the Presidential 2008 race are leading (link to Wall Street Journal’s blog posting here).
Rudy Giuliani Has between a 9 and 14 point lead over John McCain and Hillary Clinton has between 10 and 13 over Barack Obama depending upon the current polls.
It’s an intriguing situation, I think, although this new journey we’re taking to literal multi-year campaigns in any major field now is a bit unprecedented and certainly a new enough happening that polls this early surely mean little. Don’t they?
But, after so long out of the national campaign spotlight, it looks like New York could field both major choices for President of the United States.

Don’t discount the Thompson effect. Any man with three names (one of which was the name of Patrick Swayze’s character in Road House, “I want you to be nice until it’s time to not be nice.”) is sure to have a shot. But yeah, it is way early.
