True, but if the election were held today, Rudy would beat Hillary, no doubt about it. And polls do have some credence, or did you forget the 2006 Congressional polls? And Dukakis never ran against Reagan, he ran against Bush !!
"no doubt about it"
Yes there is; polls are not that reliable. Besides, many months of primaries, then months of campaigning, with the left-stream media slandering the Republicans, are ahead of us. Today's polls are meaningless. Did you read my post, showing (from history) how wrong polls can be, especially when conducted by various liberal organs?
Right about Dukakis vs. Bush, but the polls did show D. ahead of GHWB by double digits, and they also showed Mondale (there! I finally remembered the correct liberal nonentity!) ahead of Reagan.
The liberal wing of the Rep. Party has played this game for decades. "------ (fill in name of conservative candidate) can't win. Therefore we need to nominate ------ (fill in Rockefeller, Romney, GHWB, Rudy, Romney...or the latest liberal Rep. fad of the moment)."
