The Purple State of New York
According to a new poll, McCain and Obama are in a statistical tie. This could be a very significant development. I have my thoughts on this here.

Bad News for Giuliani
If this is true, then only a massive win in Florida can save the day for Giuliani:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is trailing in the race for the Republican presidential nomination even on his home turf of New York state, a new poll showed on Monday.
The WNBC/Marist poll ahead of the February 5 primaries in New York showed 34 percent of registered Republicans support John McCain, compared to 23 percent for Giuliani. Among Republicans likely to vote, McCain kept his 34 percent support, while Giuliani was tied in second place with Mitt Romney at 19 percent.
McCain’s campaign has been boosted by wins in New Hampshire and South Carolina in the state-by-state race to pick the two candidates to contest the November 4 election to succeed President George W. Bush.
Giuliani, whose once large lead in national polls has evaporated, largely bypassed early voting states and focused on Florida, which votes on January 29.
The time is fast approaching when we’ll know for certain if Giuliani’s campaign plan is genious, or bone-headed. I’m leaning towards bone-headed…it just doesn’t make a lot of sense to completely ignore the early contests. Heck, even a strong third place showing would have been better than the non-existence Giuliani has been in during the process to date. Of course, I could still be proven wrong here.
