Guiliani Or Rice? I Don't See It

From CNSNews.com:

"Conservatives gathered in Washington, D.C., for a political action conference predicted that former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani will win the Republican nomination for president in 2008.Giuliani received 19 percent of the vote in a straw poll conducted over the weekend at the 32nd annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

Giuliani narrowly edged Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who earned 18 percent of the vote after intensive campaigning by her supporters, who donned "Draft Rice in 2008" buttons and stickers.Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), tied for third place with Sens. George Allen of Virginia and John McCain of Arizona; they all received 11 percent of the vote."

I dont see either Guiliania or Rice. In Guiliani's case, although I like him, I believe as a Northeastern candidate he will have trouble convincing Southerners that he is their candidate. As for Rice, well I think she has far to many negatives for all but the extreme right to support. Guiliani is certainly positioning himself for something, wether it is President, US Senator or Governor of New York is yet to be determined.
