So suggests a new head-to-head matchup from Fox.

In a campaign memo to supporters, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis writes:

Fox News has just released a survey that shows what you and I have known – John McCain is the Republican candidate best positioned to beat Hillary Clinton. In a matchup against Hillary Clinton, John McCain is the only Republican candidate neck and neck with Senator Clinton and within the poll’s margin of error of +/-3 percentage points. Rudy Giuliani trails Hillary Clinton by four points; both Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson would lose to her by twelve points. This poll confirms the Rasmussen poll, released on Monday showing John McCain only one point behind Hillary Clinton, compared to Rudy Giuliani who would lose to Hillary Clinton by 7 points.

Clearly, the power of NRO. (It sure ain’t the power of his campaign bank account.)

Keep a lookout for Kate O’Beirne’s “Second Look at McCain” piece in the next issue of NRODT.
