Got better data?
I'm not saying that these polls Mean He Will Win. He might lose. Lots of things can happen. What I am saying is that your and others' predictions that he would be a "train wreck" for the party, in light of these polls, have no factual basis whatsoever.
Meanwhile, over the last 30 years, the GOP has won when it runs center right, and lost when it drifted leftward. THAT is demonstrable history.
Propose a feasible center-right candidate and I'll be listening. You are not doing so. You are predicting doom and gloom if Rudy is nominated. Again: that's your right, but you have no factual basis for doing so.
Once again, Dean was leading Kerry 40-12 in NH the month before the primary. Just goes to show how meaningless polls are right now.

No factual basis? When the GOP runs center-right, it wins (1980, 1994, 2000).
When it drifts leftward, it loses (1992, 2006).
That is FACTUAL history. And far more relevant than name-recognition polls 11 months before the first votes are cast in Iowa.
Propose a feasible center-right candidate and I'll be listening.
It doesn't matter what I propose. It matters what a candidate DOES over the next year. You have NO IDEA what the slate will look like by then. Neither do I.
