(((((PING)))))
Hillary has a bigger lead over Obama than he has over Bill Richardson. Yeah this a real race. /s
I think it will be the freakiest thing if Rudy and Hillary have a face-off for President. It would kind of be like a Mets-Yankees game. New Yorkers would go wild, but would the rest of the country care?
Hillary has the money and the power to win the Democrat nomination Anyone who thinks she won’t win is sorely mistaken. Obama is the Howard Dean of the Democrats. He will fizzle out. He is starting to fizzle right now.
LOL! If that happens I’ll be called a Troll and banned from FR! ;-) LOL!
Pretty much every discussion circle involves taking down all of his challengers, and pumping his positives. They are joining the choir of GOP trying to make it sound inevitable that Rudy will win, and working furiously to warm conservatives to Rudy.
Make no mistake about it, Fix News has taken sides in this primary. Don’t be fooled - watch it yourself.
True. The ratings for that World Series weren’t very good.
The powers that be in the Dem party know not to cross the Clintons.
I don’t watch Fox News that much anymore. Actually I prefer to get my news from the internet.
Yup! I wouldn’t want to be a Democrat running for president against her.
Another irrelevant poll....only "likely voters" matter, not "registered voters".....and then, only after the summer.
“Obama is the Howard Dean of the Democrats. He will fizzle out.”
Rudy Giuliani=Howard Dean. Rudy will fizzle out.
Thompson down to 8. I am wondering if this is the public’s verdict on his lymphoma announcement. Rudy up after last week’s decline. Looks like the public absorbed his abortion revelations and is moving on.
I just posted this on the Rudy Down as Fred Rises thread. Thought it might interest you.
Theres no evidence of that. The latest polls from FOX News and Gallup both have Rudy at 35% while Thompson gets 8% and 10% respectively. Both of Freds numbers are well below high mark of 15% a few weeks ago. Hes stuck at around 10% along with Romney and Gingrich.
I know, I know, Fred hasnt even declared or started an exploratory committee yet. Well lets compare it with Rudys poll numbers before he announced the start of his exploratory committee on November 14, 2006.
According to Real Clear Politics, this is how he was polling before then:
(11/9-12/06) Cook/RT..........Rudy 27% McCain 25%
(11/12/06) Pew Research.......Rudy 27% McCain 26%
(11/9-12/06) Gallup...........Rudy 28% McCain 26%
(1/8/06)McLaughlin & Assoc....Rudy 26% McCain 26%
(1027-29/06) CNN..............Rudy 29% McCain 27%
Thompsons 10% no longer looks as good as it may appear to some. This is exactly what many GOP leaders are looking at.
“Yup! I wouldnt want to be a Democrat running for president against her.”
A democrat is running against her—Rudy.
“He only became a Republican after he began to get all these jobs from them. He’s definitely not a conservative Republican. He thinks he is, but he isn’t.”
— Rudy’s mother Helen
900 registered voters nationwide, does not a poll make. Assuming you believe in polls.
That will certainly keep you well-informed. We all know that everything that is purported to be news is so carefully vetted and fact-checked before it is posted on the web.
Plus, you don’t have to read or hear anything that doesn’t validate your preconceived notions of what the news SHOULD be!
Why, the internet is the perfect medium!
Actually I go to News websites. Blog sites are good for opinions really but sometimes you can get interesting tidbits from them. The 24 hours TV news tends to rehash the same thing over and over and make it so tabloid when they do that.
Once again, a meaningless nationwide poll. Individual state polls are the only ones that really give good indications.
