Giuliani beats her 49% to 47%. 51% say they would definitely vote for her. More people don't want Hillary to run for president than do. Giuliani should reconsider running. for more go here http://www.maristpoll.marist.edu/nyspolls/HC050412.htm
We don't need another Bob Dole running this time. Dole was a disaster and makes one wonder what went on besides he "deserved it".
There was another poll out just a few days ago with her winning by 12%...Do these polling people know what they're doing
Worth repeating!
Jeb is a better man than U R.
Hey! Get with the program. Here's the way it's going to be: Bush, 1988 --Clinton, 1992 and 1996 ---Bush, 2000 and 2004---Clinton, 2008 and 2012 ---(Jeb) Bush 2016 and 2020.
(/sarcasm--I think)
...And the view is simply AWFUL!!!!!!
He would be a strnger governor than Senator IMO but he has made it clear he wont run for governor.
Agreed on the primary part, unless he plans on trying to be a VEEP first. Rudy has a Type A leader personality so again, not his first choice.
But, NY, that's a different story...Rudy should run for Gov or Senate. As long as NYC has this massive liberal population, no election can be "real" in the sense of representing the general populous. It's NYC or bust!!
Rick Lazio was a serious disappointment. And I even sent him some money. But I'm afraid lack of any serious Republican candidates for 2006 will mean it's Hillary in 2008 and THAT means .... wow, I'm just gonna HATE living in Singapore as an expat for 4 or 8 years!
"Top Aide Says Giuliani Can't Run for Senate or Gov in 2006
(Albany, N.Y. -AP, April 4, 2005) — Republican Rudolph Giuliani's top political aide said Monday it is not possible for the former New York City mayor to run for governor of New York or challenge U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's re-election bid next year.
But, Anthony Carbonetti cautioned: "Rudy is someone who never says never." "Right now, with all the commitments he has here in maintaining the success of Giuliani Partners and now growing a law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, I just see the commitment as too great to undertake any sort of run within the next year," Carbonetti told The Associated Press. "It's not possible."

"Creating" poll numbers equates to Florida in 2000.....If Gore has won, why am I going to get out of my comfy chair and run to the polls....APATHY!
Baloney, that's simply wishful thinking on the part of some here.
If he runs, he will be the GOP candidate and beat any Democrat. And the irony is that the more the self-annointed 'voices of social conservatism' trash him, the more the party will move to the center on divisive social issues to maintain a broad enough coalition to win. The bleaters haven't learned a thing from the Terri fiasco, and will only keep shooting themselves in the foot with their vitriolic nonstop purist rants.
I supported DeLay's efforts for Terri, believe that a grave judicial injustice was committed, and strongly support the social conservative position on most issues. But I am also a realist, and understand that political wins involve compromise and coalitions.
Rudy's going to have a hard time on the national (Republican) scene if he fails to take on Mrs. Clinton.
Rudy going to the Senate, IMHO, has precious little to do with it.
True, that.
Who is telling him otherwise?
Of course it would. In fcat it would cement him as a 2008 frontrunner. His entire campaign would be plagued with news stories and talking heads badgering him 'do you promise to serve out your whole term?'
Who the hell cares? Rudy's ego is too big for the Senate and Bertha Butt's opponent will likely be Jeannine Pirro or George Patakifeller anyway.
At least you'd have plenty of shade.
Please let this be true. Out damn spot!
No party loyalty there. See how this "Two-Party Cartel" is functoining. It's set up for The Hildabeast to fly in to office. And poor Rudy is so dilusional that he thinks we will nominate him.
