Thompson overtakes Ghouliani for the national lead

[draft_mario_cuomo]

First, as I said regarding Obama (our version of Thompson) in another thread, as Thompson, the vague media creation gives way to Thompson, the man he will inevitably lose support as what people projected onto the blank screen does not match up with the reality. The question is can he gain enough converts to offset the inevitable losses he will incur?

==Thompson Grabs National Lead From Giuliani
A new Zogby telephone poll shows Fred Thompson taking the lead in the Republican presidential nomination race, even though he's yet to declare his candidacy. Thompson leads with 22%, followed by Rudy Giuliani at 21%, Mitt Romney at 11%, Sen. John McCain at 9% and Mike Hucabeee at 5%.

In the Democratic race, Sen. Hillary Clinton holds a commanding lead with 37% support, followed by Sen. Barack Obama at 25% and John Edwards at 11%.
