On the same day that Rudy Giuliani comes to town, a Strategic Vision poll has released a poll that puts him at the top of the GOP presidential pack in Georgia.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton leads among Georgia, but both Barack Obama and John Edwards are close on her heels.

The poll by Strategic Vision, a Republican-leaning public affairs firm, also shows U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, the Republican incumbent, beating Vernon Jones, the only Democrat who has expressed public interest in the ’08 Senate race, by 57 to 29 percent.

Here are the parameters of the three-day poll: 800 voters contacted April 5-7, with a breakdown of 46 Republican and 41 percent Democrat. Margin of error on the broadest questions was 3 percent, but much higher on primary questions.

Among Republicans, it was:

— Giuliani, 23 percent;

— John McCain, 17 percent;

— Fred Thompson, 12 percent;

— Newt Gingrich, 10 percent;

— Mitt Romney, 5 percent;

— Tom Tancredo, Sam Brownback, Tommy Thompson, all at 3 percent;

— Mike Huckabee, 2 percent;

— Chuck Hagel, Jim Gilmore and Ron Paul, all at 1 percent.

Among Demcorats, it was:

— Clinton, 25 percent;

— Obama, 22 percent;

— John Edwards, 20 percent;

— Bill Richardson, 4 percent;

— John Biden and Wesley Clark, 3 percent;

— Chris Dodd and Dennis Kucinich, 1 percent.

800 people polled and how many millions live in Georgia? Hmmmmmmm. You do the math. Point number one stays.

That's a pathetic level of ignorance from an expert who once took a stats class.

It's pathetic you can only revert to insults with general, vague statements lacking any detail to buttress your position.

It’s like arguing with someone who thinks the earth is flat — no reasonable argument or source cited is likely to convince someone convinced that their ignorance is correct.

Rudy’s a rock star in Dixie.
