Political Wire: "Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) 'remains the front-runner for the Democratic nomination amidst a field of relatively well-established political figures,' according to a new Gallup poll. She has 'a better than two-to-one margin" over Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) among Democratic registered voters, 39% to 15%... Essentially tied with Kerry are former Vice President Al Gore and former Sen. John Edwards, receiving 13% and 12% support respectively.'
"On the Republican side, Rudy Giuliani (R) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) 'lead a closely contested race among Republican registered voters. Giuliani has a five percentage-point edge over McCain, 33% to 28%, which is within the poll's margin of error. The remaining GOP candidates (mostly lesser-known names) register in the single digits.'"

Rocky Mountain News: "Rep. Tom Tancredo has asked the Federal Elections Commission to say whether his congressional campaign can give up to $50,000 to a Colorado group behind a proposed constitutional amendment restricting state services for illegal immigrants.
"Tancredo, R-Littleton, is seeking an advisory opinion that could have national implications. It could clarify a gray area of the law and determine how much members of Congress can get involved in state ballot initiatives.
"Campaign treasurer Jon Ponder said Tancredo has not decided exactly how much to contribute to the group, Defend Colorado Now, but proposed the $50,000 figure in hopes of getting clear guidance on what's allowed."
