Poll: Election Troubles for Hillary, Giuliani

Newsmax ^

[Torie]

I guess it is hopeless. Might as well pack it in. The poll has spoken.

[Antoninus]

"For Rudy, he's electable; but is he acceptable" to Republicans deciding the nomination?"

If he's the nominee, the media will make sure he's not electable either. This is all a set up. See tagline.

Same goes for John McCain.

True dat.

[Reagan Man]

PING!

>>>>But when Republicans were informed that Giuliani is "a pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-gay rights Republican," 47 percent said those traditionally liberal positions would be a major factor in determining how they voted while just 22 percent said they would not be a factor.

>>>>Conservative voters hold considerable sway in the Republican presidential primaries.

Obagasm! swooosh! Obagasm

"Conservative voters hold considerable sway in the Republican presidential primaries."

Wow, political genius.

William Buckley has not stood down as a leading conservative writer -- he has clearly been usurped.

...in the survey released Thursday by Marist College's Institute for Public Opinion.

But, the big question: Has Cary moved up from last? I really want to know this... I'm rooting for Cary!

Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is popular within her party but could have trouble winning the presidency, according to a poll that also identified potential hurdles within the GOP for former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Good...who needs two liberals running against each other.?

When it comes to Dems vs Republicans, the Dems will vote for Hillary. Even the leftist whackjobs angry with her over the war.

"When it comes to Dems vs Republicans, the Dems will vote for Hillary. Even the leftist whackjobs angry with her over the war."

I don't know. There's a possibility the right Republican candidate could get what has been called the "Lou Dobb's Democrats" and also what's left of the southern, conservative Democrats. If the Republicans run a "Democrat lite" candidate, the Democrats will vote for the real thing instead.

Watch for Tancredo as a third party candidate. Hillary could get elected with 40%.

[Prokopton]

"Watch for Tancredo as a third party candidate. Hillary could get elected with 40%."

What if someone like Duncan Hunter came out of the pack with some grass roots momentum? Trancedo would, I think, support him and he also has some populist positions attractive to certain Democrats.

Conservative voters hold considerable sway in the Republican presidential primaries.

No question. Repubs cannot win without conservatives. The Nov debacle proved that......as if the party needed further proof.

Foisting Rudy on conservatives was a key factor in the devastating loss. Rudy was RNC's Mehlman fair-haired boy, tapped to campaign, and collect political chits, all over the nation. Unfortunately Rudy proved to be the kiss of death---the losing candidates piled up like so much deadwood. Mehlman was ushered out the back door for his troubles.

Conservatives also saw that the party's beknighting Rudy meant a purging of conservatives. The elitist contempt for conservatives knows no bounds. How nasty can they get?

One of the Rudy Tooters actually posted: "If the international or financial scene gets truly dangerous that would motivate voters to go with a proven leader like Rudy instead of an untested politically correct social conservative. The last thing the conservative movement needs in this perilous age is to be hijacked by cultural fanatics who coulden't (sic) find Irag (sic) on a map or read a balance sheet if it was stapled to their foreheads because there (sic) worried about a queer under their bed."

BTW, that quote will make a great full-page ad in primary states.

Note that "The Plan" also includes the manufacturing of an international incident, or a "financial crisis" to showcase their boy Rudy. The agit-prop for this escalates as we type.

[Coldwater Creek]

I will do what I can to make sure that Rudy is not the candidate in the first place.

[Condor51]

I'm going to steal borrow a line from another article that's posted ...

Rudy's chances of getting the nomination are the same as Nixon's -- and Nixon is DEAD.

So pleeeeeeease Rudy go away - far, far, away. Or better yet, back where you belong - the Democrat party.

(And in your spare time, try seeing a speech therapist. Your lisp doesn't 'play' outside of Slag Fagcisco)

[TommyDale]

This must be painful for all those Rudy supporters here on a conservative forum, supporting this liberal. We should save these poll results to use later.

She may be acceptable to Democrats, but by the grace of God, she will never darkend the doors of the People's White House again!

It's her deal with the devil that worries me.
