The Real Clear Politics poll average currently shows Rudy in the high twenties and Thompson in the mid-twenties -- though incidentally it also shows Rudy's support relatively stable. I confess matt I have a little trouble understanding how polls showing a surge in support for a self-proclaimed conservative from Tennessee, showing him gaining on a moderate from New York, can be described as the most "liberal" polls in any case.

But the Republicans won't nominate a Latino candidate. It’s like the Democratic National Convention in the sixth season of The West Wing. But the Republicans won’t nominate a Latino candidate.
