Is Rudy going to run? Eamon Javers reports in CQ Weekly that early indications seem to point to an answer of yes.

There’s lots of irresponsible speculation these days about candidates for the White House three years from now. Who’s running? Who’s not? Here’s the latest tea leaf to read: Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is searching for a national fundraising firm. His political team had meetings on it last week, and they’re reviewing proposals from fundraisers now. All of which is prompting plenty of responsible speculation about the mayor’s 2008 plans.

There's polling today, as well, from the campaign 2008 front, and Marc Humbert writes it up for the AP.

A growing number of registered voters believe Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton should run for president in 2008, according to a poll released Tuesday.

Marist College's Institute for Public Opinion poll found that 46 percent of voters want the former first lady to run for the White House while 49 percent said she should not. In a December poll, 38 percent favored a run, while 50 percent were opposed.

Clinton was the choice of 39 percent of Democrats for their party's nomination for president in 2008, while Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, who lost to President Bush last year, was preferred by 21 percent.

A quarter of Republicans said they preferred New York City Mayor Rudolph Guiliani for the Republican nomination, with Sen. John McCain second at 21 percent.

The polling might be here now, but make sure to watch out for a dark horse; such candidates always seem to pop up and often seem to win.
