The latest Mobile Press-Register/University of South Alabama statewide poll suggests John McCain and Rudy Giuliani are in a dead heat for the Republican nomination. We all know poll results mean very little at this stage, but given their name recognition and prescence in the state, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson would have some serious ground to make-up, but it can certainly be done. The paper does note that Giuliani is running weaker here than in other places, and that is to be expected, but without a clear religious conservative candidate (Alabamians are going to be very skeptical of Romney who they perceive as a latecomer to some of their strongest beliefs).
