(Angus Reid Global Scan) – Republican Rudy Giuliani would defeat Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2008 United States presidential election, according to a poll by Canisius College. 49 per cent of respondents would vote for the former New York City mayor, while 34 per cent would support the Empire State’s junior U.S. senator.

In a sample of decided voters, Giuliani holds a 16-point lead over Rodham Clinton.

Giuliani garnered national and international attention in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In 2000, Giuliani withdrew from a campaign to the U.S. Senate—where he would have faced Rodham Clinton—after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Rodham Clinton—a former first lady—was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000, defeating Republican Rick Lazio by 12 per cent. She ruled out a presidential bid in 2004.

Republican George W. Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.

LOL... Good post.

I'd take Rudy over McCain.

If it boils down to having to choose between the two of them, then we've lost the White House to the Democrats regardless of which one wins or loses.

LOL... Good post.

*tipping hat* Thank you! And g'night!   :o)

Anyone but Bush, is what cost the Dems the last election.

Just vote for the pro-lifer. You can't lose. For further proof, just vote for the one not beholden to the gay lobby, the one who will stand up for marriage between a man and woman. Same answer. This match-up will never happen. If Rudy was a true Republican, he would run against Hilly now for the Senate. That would force her to withdraw for fear of losing, and make her go back to Bill's babe-pad. Rudy could pick up serious points for causing this.

Fer cryin' out loud...

Guiliani will not be President! A RINO candidate will NOT carry the conservative base!

[bill1952]

Couldn't agree more.

If the (mainly NY and NE) voters feel this strongly, then why isn't he running now in the area where his support is unquestioned?

Knocking off the beast would elevate him to idol status in the Senate, and he isn't even going to try.

When he fails to win the nomination, he will be another forgotten footnote in history.

At least Kerry IS a senator, much to the shame of Mass.

I have nothing against mr G but he isn't going to pull the GOTV numbers that Bush did, and without that, its another 8 years of us saying "President Clinton."

Just wait, Mrs. Clinton and her zombie soldiers of the main stream media will have us all believing Rudy was behind 9-11 to enhance his standings.
The m.s.m. will try to have us believe that Mrs. Clinton fed 2000 people with two fish and then walked on water on her way to resurecting some gay guy from death.
Rudy hasn't a chance.

[M-cubed]

SEND YOUR MONEY TO JESSE JACKSON!!! ...A third party liberal candidate is what we need...don't care who it is...split the liberal vote!

[Nephi]

Hildery vs. Rudy would be an appropriate match-up for a Democrat primary run-off, not a national election.

At the rate things are going right now a muslie will be president by 2050. It's time for Americans to get with the program and stop this lurching to the fascist left.
