Ahead by a Nose

According to this collection of polling data, Rudy Guiliani is very narrowly in the lead of John McCain for the Republican nomination — within the margin of error on the more recent polls. Mitt Romney is running a respectable but distant third place and being outpolled (apparently on name recognition) Newt Gingrich, who as far as I can tell has not made one move towards seeking the nomination. So that’s encouraging, and exciting, for Guiliani advocates like me.
