"None of the above" leading Republican race.
I wonder how much money he's raised?

What a sorry assed field.

Poll: Other/Undecided Leads GOP Race
In a new AP/Ipsos Poll, 25% of Republican respondents say they are either undecided or would prefer someone other than the current field — more than the vote share of any actual candidates listed in the poll. Compare this to the Democratic side, where only 13% of respondents are undecided or prefer none of the above. In the horse-race numbers, Rudy Giuliani leads the GOP side with 21%, followed by Fred Thompson at 19%, John McCain at 15%, and Mitt Romney at 11%. Among Dems: Hillary Clinton 36%, Barack Obama 20%, Al Gore 15%, and John Edwards 11%.

1. Three scenarios might materialize:
1) The Repubs might be throwing the game in '08. They really don't have anyone impressive--Thompson merely highlights their desperation.

2) Third party of Bloomberg to emerge, to sop up all those underwhelmed Repubs who find whichever nominee they scrape up to be unacceptable for some reason.

3) Newt Gingrich and Chuck Hagel are eyeing this poll--might be planning late entry.

2. Nobody wants to take the bullet for Bush?
Is that what it is? Because they're going to get creamed.
