Updated 2008 Rankings From The Hotline

National Journal's The Hotline has released their newly updated White House 2008 rankings. TH's top 5 on both sides is a bit strange - especially placing Mark Warner 3rd for the Dems. And why is Rudy Giuliani only 3rd for the Republicans? PB was very skeptical of Rudy's potential in the '08 race at first, but he has built up some momentum in the last month, topping a recent poll of GOP contenders. Mitt Romney cannot be ahead of Rudy at this point. Needless to say, PB has some issues with this ranking. Watch out very soon for our own look at the '08 contenders.

Here are the rankings from The Hotline. (More info - including analysis - for subscribers. This is just a listing of the top 5 from each party.)


GOP:

1. John McCain
2. Mitt Romney
3. Rudy Giuliani
4. Mike Huckabee
5. George Allen

Democrats:

1. Hillary Clinton
2. John Edwards
3. Mark Warner
4. Evan Bayh
5. Barack Obama (!!??)
