...know Mitt Romney pretty well. I've had my differences with Mitt, but I wouldn't underestimate him. That's certainly also true for Senator [John] McCain.

The rest of the Republican field polled in the very low single digits. If the G.O.P. field were limited to Giuliani, McCain and Romney, the former mayor would have a slightly more commanding lead, 49% to McCain?s 30%, with Romney...
