According to the WSJ...recent polling had slippery Silvio...the 3x time ex-PM...surging into 2nd place with nearly 30%...trailing only leftist leader Pier Luigi Bersani's 34%...followed by angry anti-euro comic and critic Beppo Grillo at 17%...and acting technocrat PM 'Super' Mario Monti...not doing so super...in last place...with only 11% support.
