Presidential Power Rankings # 13

March 28, 2007

Will Gore, Gingrich, and Thompson get in?

Will Edwards be able to stay in?

Just how badly does Richardson want to be Hillary's running-mate?

Oh, so many questions.

But not many changes in this week's rankings.

Democrats:

1. Hillary Rodham Clinton (1)
2. Barack Obama (2)
3. John Edwards (3)
4. Al Gore (4)
5. Bill Richardson (5)
6. Joe Biden (6)
7. Chris Dodd (7)
8. Dennis Kucinich (8)
9. Wesley Clark (9)
10. Mike Gravel (10)

Republicans:

1. Rudy Giuliani (1)
2. Mitt Romney (2)
3. John McCain (3)
4. Fred Thompson (4)
5. Mike Huckabee (5)
6. Sam Brownback (6)
7. Newt Gingrich (7)
8. Duncan Hunter (8)
9. Tommy Thompson (9)
10. Ron Paul(new)

The only change I am making is the addition of Congressman Ron Paul to the list. Somehow, the darling of libertarians managed to register at about 3 % in a national poll of GOP hopefuls, so that ought to be enough to be worthy of knocking off the infrequently noticed campaign of Jim Gilmore.
