By host Tom Ashbrook:

Here's the reality of the race for the GOP's '08 presidential nomination. Mitt Romney won the Iowa straw poll but still draws just 13 percent in national polls. McCain is on the ropes. Fred Thompson is still undeclared, and falling. And Rudy Giuliani is way out front.

And the former New York mayor -- three times married, anti-gun, pro-gay, pro-choice -- is winning support even in the conservative South. That is critical, and remarkable. Giuliani reportedly making inroads with the South's religious right.

This hour On Point: The odd couple. Rudy Giuliani's southern charm.
