Zogby: Romney Leads In Iowa!
Here's a first: A new poll finds that Mitt Romney is in first place in Iowa — albeit by a statistically insignificant margin — while Rudy is dropping in the state.
The new Zogby poll has Romney at 19%, followed by Rudy Giuliani and John McCain with 18% apiece. The Democratic side shows a similarly tight race, with John Edwards (who's led in Iowa in other polls) at 26%, Hillary Clinton at 24%, and Barack Obama with 22%.
Key footnote: The poll also finds that Romney is now enjoying potentially significant momentum in Zogby's sampling. Romney is up by eight points from two months ago — while Rudy is down by seven. By contrast, the Dem side didn't show any significant movement in the first caucus state.

I just had this image of Romney, a man with no center. Indeed, a Mitt with no center. A catcher's mitt with a hole in the middle. And here he is in the lead in the middle, or perhaps the mittle, of the country.

Zounds! Zogby says Zitt Romney the Zomby leads Iowa? Zhit! Are Iowan GOP'ers sniffing too much ethanol? Of course out of that field of Bozos there ain't much to choose from, is there?

Romney was also leading in Michigan according to one poll last week -- but there I thought it was just residual affection for Romney pere. Haven't noticed much Romentum on the ground here, but then again, I don't have a lot of contact with the more fervent sort of Iowan Republican.
