I was hoping that Gov. Jennie Grahnolm's dismal approval ratings would help Republicans in MI. Sadly, it is not the case.

Well at least this is not so bad news: Recent polling found that 51% of voters in Oregon have an unfavorable opinion of Clinton and, as a result, Republican candidates might be competitive there. That’s a Blue State that has voted for the Democrat in every Presidential Election since 1988.

Hard to believe Hillary would carry Arkansas.

From what I hear, she was not too popular during their time in Arkansas.

Also, I hear that some people in Arkansas feel snubbed by the Clintons, as they went to New York for Hillary to be elected Senator.

Wouldn’t it stand to reason that Hillary would have run for Senate in Arkansas if she thought she could be elected there?????

I find this poll hard to believe; it’s still so early in the campaign.

"Clinton leads all Republican challengers in Arkansas by huge double digit margins."

Did the poll specify which Clinton? Maybe they thought they were picking Bill again.

This poll seems to take it for granted that Rudy and Hillary will be their respective parties' nominees for president.

Rudy, maybe (though my own preference is Fred Thompson). But Hillary--well, probably not.

There is often a major disconnect between the preference of the party faithful in general and the preference of its activists. The hard left despises Hillary with a passion that FReepers and others on the right cannot even imagine.

And since the primaries and caucuses are driven by the hard-left base of the party--the Daily Kos and MoveOn.org types--I simply don't expect Hillary to win the nomination.

I’m confuse where Rudy 7% lead comes from in Rass polls where it put much a tie in Ohio and FL and Hillary is up big in these states? Is Rudy up huge in the southwest where that anti rich class warfare does not work?

I’m afraid that the whole election will tilt just as these polls.

People “want”..... they FEEL they need...free crap from the gov. There are more of them than us, so the beast wins

I would be careful about the use of the term "real conservative." There are many different brands of conservatives: neoconservatives, paleoconservatives, libertarians, social conservatives, religious conservatives (who often overlap with social conservatives), national-defense conservatives, free-market conservatives...and on and on.

Ron Paul is an exponent of the libertarian ideal. In foreign affairs, his (and other libertarians') views closely mirror the views of paleoconservatives (think: Robert Novak and Pat Buchanan).

What do Guiliani's number have to do with Republicans?

I was hoping that the negative approval ratings of the Dem Govrnor of MI would translate into a potential GOP victory in MI like OH did for the Dems.

"What we realy need is a real conservative to stand against Hillary.... someone who represents real conservatism, anybody who can unite conservatives......"

If the Republicans really do this, we will lose horribly. Reagan was the one conservative who was actually able to be elected handily due to his true political genius and enormously attractive personality and character. Remember please what happened to Goldwater. I was 10 at the time, and I remember it well. Guiliani currently polls well above Hillary. He is the only Republican who does. Most of the U.S. is simply not conservative. Uniting conservatives will NOT win the election. There are not nearly enough of us. We have to have a candidate who will take more of the middle, or we cannot win. It is simply mathematically impossible.
