What does this all mean for the Republican race?

Lots of interesting polls coming out of the US at the moment on the 2008 White House race. For the latest check here.

The above one, which came out a few days ago, is perhaps the most interesting in that it looks at negatives in a theoretical sense. For the Democrats the lack of negatives for a black or a female nominees looks encouraging.

It’s the Republicans who have the biggest problems. Of the three front-runners:-

McCain will be 72 in 2008

Giuliani has been married three times

Romney is a Mormon

The main White House betting markets can be linked from here. I am now laying (betting against) both McCain and Giuliani for the Republican nomination.
