I didn’t vote for Giuliani.
McCain led both Democrats for almost a year in the very early polling.
Yet Giuliani lost even his home state, and failed to garner any real support at all. And McCain proved little opposition for neophyte Obama.
Perhaps we should stop pretending the pollsters have any grasp of who is, or is not, electable this far out?
The Liberals don't fight Palin tooth and nail every single day because they feel she'd be the weakest opponent in a General Election matchup. Hell, I knew GOPers who picked Dem tickets to vote for Howard Dean several years ago for just that reason - he was the one we wanted to face most.
Liberals fear Palin the most, and with good reason. You won't find a ONE of them taking GOP ballots to vote for Palin. They're terrified, and desperately cling to massaged poll numbers like a person falling off a cliff clings to the last branch. They think that if the echo chamber is loud enough, they'll stop doubting themselves. "If you just bring another poll saying she's toast.....there, that's better.......now her book sales and crowded audiences don't bother me so much......."
Actions speak louder than word, and polls. There is noone they fear more, because noone is a stronger opponent. She'll win, which is why they will spend every second of every minute of every hour of every day doing ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to detroy her until November of 2012. If they really thought she was a pantyweight, they'd prop her up like they did John McCain.
