Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is the favourite Republican United States presidential contender for voters in the Garden State, according to a poll by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. 48 per cent of respondents in New Jersey would vote for Giuliani in a head-to-head contest against Democratic New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In other match-ups, Rodham Clinton holds a one-point edge over Arizona senator John McCain, and a 24-point advantage over former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. McCain leads former North Carolina senator John Edwards by six points, and Illinois senator Barack Obama by three points.
In 2004, Democratic nominee John Kerry carried New Jersey’s 15 electoral votes, with 53 per cent of the vote. No Republican has won the Garden State since George H. Bush in 1988.
Incumbent George W. Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next United States presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.

What do you think of Romney?....I've started to take a closer look at him. He is definitely electable.
BTW, you tagline is a candidate killer!
Please explain just why and how there is time to find some great white conservative knight, when Rudy and McCain and Romney have been and are now in the process of nailing down the money men, calling in all of the political chits they can, and putting their teams together.
. Not good. He's not as bad as Giuliani, but he's pretty bad. It is quite disturbing that the 3 announced frontrunners are the worst candidates when you hold them up to the actual Republican Party Platform.
and when some freepers challenge the social conservatives - I think some of them take it the wrong way. I would be more then happy to see that there was enough of a voting block there, to steamroller the Dems. show me that there are? I'll be more then happy to shutup, if someone can show me that the social conservative voting block is large enough to provide clear margins of victory against the Dems in enough states to win congress, senate, and the presidency.
it isn't large enough. its an important group to be sure, but its not large enough on its own to deliver a win. we need some other voters. The Dems took the hispanic vote 69-31 in 2006. polls show generation Y voters are going 58-42 Dem. Hillary is going to bring out large #s of single young women who would not otherwise vote, in 2008.
if we go up there with a social litmus test pure ticket comprised of 2 unknown, inarticulate white guys - we'll lose. that's my opinion.
Really. He's got slimmer ankles than Hillary. And better legs.
There isn't ANYTHING at all in the Constitution about marriage; yet there have been laws that made it illegal for inter racial marriage. There's also nothing in the Constitution forbidding brothers to marry sisters; yet that is illegal and unlike the inter racial marriage laws, the prohibition of sibling marriage laws won't be shed.
does the 2nd amendment give you a right to own a howitzer? how about an ICBM?
I'm NOT the one who said that she can't win. :-)
She's for Mitt Romney, which makes me wonder WHY she chose him. She really didn't have very good reasons for doing so.
I know.
It sure does and I'm still waiting to hear just which parts of the MSM are "pushing" Rudy. But all I am hearing is CRICKETS!
I'll tell you them privately, if you want me to. :-)
I know, but he appears to be an obsessive compulsive, who can't do anything but repeat the same weird thing over and over again. *shrugs*
Yes, I do. LOL
It is probably his charisma. Didn't she say something about how he was good at fooling liberals?
That was me. ;-)
Thanks for that info.

I'm about to go to bed, so I don't have time to explain completely, but Google up the difference between "arms" and "artillery" and you'll understand.
Is that contagious because I am beginning to wonder why I can't just scroll past his posts :)
