Voters take Richard Pryor's Advice

Who else remembers, in the movie Brewster's Millions, when Monty Brewster, played by Richard Pryor, urges New York City's citizens to vote for "None of the Above" in the mayoral race? And he had to stop the campaign because "None of the Above" was leading in the polls?

Fast forward to the 2008 race for the Republican nomination for president....

And the leading Republican presidential candidate is ... none of the above.

....

A hefty 23 percent can't or won't say which candidate they would back, a jump from the 14 percent who took a pass in June.

Giuliani's popularity continued to decline steadily as he faced a spate of headline headaches, came under increased scrutiny and saw the potential entry of Thompson in the mix; his support is at 21 percent compared with 27 percent in June and 35 percent in March.

The former New York mayor is running virtually even with Thompson, who has become a threat without even officially entering the race. The actor and former Tennessee senator has stayed steady at 19 percent. McCain, the Arizona senator who is revamping his nearly broke campaign, clocked in a bit lower at 15 percent, while Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, remained at 11 percent.
