According to Marc Ambinder, new polls show that Republicans in Iowa think Rudy Giuliani is the most electable candidate, yet they're still not voting for him. I have trouble imagining that same finding on the Democratic side. I can't figure out if that's because the party out of power is simply more desperate to reenter it or because Republicans are genuinely more ideologically oriented than Democrats, but it's a fascinating finding. Meanwhile, Dick Morris argues that though Rudy's national numbers are good, his numbers in the relevant primaries are very bad. It's a convincing case, and I'm thrilled to hear it. Mitt Romney not only seems less likely to win the general election, but also less likely to explode the earth.
