States you mention that are trending DEM are doing so because of an influx of moderates and liberals...many of them would vote for Rudy.....the question is why if Rudy is so destested is he leading for the GOP nomination...dont give me that "polls are wrong nonsense" the polls were dead on for 2006
Sounds like an Alan Colmes "gotcha" question.
Polls at this point are a name recognition contest. Nothing more. That's the way it's always been at this stage of the game. When Rudy's 9/11 Hero status expires and the media starts playing hardball, watch what happens to his poll numbers.
