I haven't abandoned McCain. Between the two, I'd actually lean slightly to McCain. Republicans, me included, despise his immigration philosophy, and that is why his support has slipped. Immigration is a huge issue for Republicans, as it should be for everyone. Just wait until Thompson officially enters tomorrow. Then he will be asked the specific policy questions just like everyone else, not just vague "the country should go this direction" talk. Ultimately, I think his support has basically peaked. For the nomination, I don't think Rudy is beatable at this point.
