One year before voters go to the polls to select the next president, the Republican Party is as weak as it has been in a generation, a detailed new poll suggests.
Republicans are so down in the dumps that even their putative front-runner, Rudy Giuliani, would lose to Hillary Clinton by a wide margin....
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
A vote for either he or Hillary is a vote to murder the unborn.
As for the personal insult, yes, you did...
...if the evangelical snobs could unite behind a candidate, even if he is a ... pro-choice "sinner" like Rudy...
I am no snob, but I will not vote for Rudy, even if it is him against Hillary. I cannot, as a matter of conscience, support a politician who has a heinous history regarding abortion.
Further, Rudy has other serious problems - like his support of the gay rights agenda and his opposition to 2nd amendment rights.
To self-righteously call principled voters snobs is acting like a jerk. If you were just acting, please accept my apology.
Facts..., we live in a moderate society. This winner take all to one side of the spectrum never really works. Its about balance.
Fact..., after a GWB presidency the Repubs either A) sit this one out or B) go with a moderate. That moderate is Rudy. Plain and simple. I live in California. I should know.
Fact. Only a Rudy could have a chance in a big metropolitan state or city. Fact. He WILL peel away votes in the ceter in big cities which is where Dims do well.
Fact. You can’t have it all.
Fact..., any other candidate falls on his face. Repubs have put themselves in this situation now they must deal with it. If not HILLARY IS YOUR LEADER>
GIVE ME A BREAK.
She won't lose those by a narrow margin, she'll lose 'em big. AND she'll lose church goers. AND she'll lose married women. AND she'll lose those making $100K or more. Hell, she'll lose those making $50K or more.
She'll get the black vote, the single female vote, and the gay vote. She'll also win, by double digits, the dead vote, the felon vote, the pet vote, and the double-precinct voter vote. Other than that...
South New york, better known as Manhattanstan.
Abortion, gay marriage, and gun rights are in the hands of the courts and Hillary could leave a 50-year legacy of liberal judges in her wake. Having her for eight years would shape the judiciary for the rest of our lives. Every Republican contender has promised to appoint conservative judges, making each person a better candidate than Hillary. Furthermore, I dread having to live through another eight years of Bill's egomania and sex scandals. No other spouse could have as destruct an influence on our culture as the return of that man.
I do’t like Rudy Giuliani but i’d sure as hell vote for him before i’d see hitlery in office !
2,007 adults. Not registered voters, not likely voters. Lame.
Her pushpolls must have been a disaster last night.
Pray for W and Our Troops
“Funny how the VOMIT FROM HELL has a diasterous debate night and her kissingbuttboys come to her rescue immediately! Polls, polls, baloneyolls!!”
I agree! Wait until Fred Thompson becomes President by the biggest landslide ever!
No, they did not try... two out of five voters wanted to... if they had tried, he would be with Jimmy Hoffa...
Electorally, Rudy, more than any other GOP guy, has a shot of gaining New York...
That is why he did so well in the two senate elections?
Rudy has cojones of solid brass...
Sounds like a fetish thing...
This isn’t news. We’ve known that Rootie is Hitlery’s secret weapon from the beginning.
Yes!! - They're the only ones voting for Rootie.
Is Davey Paulie a PAID CLINTON BLOGGER??? Good Grief!
Hillary has higher negatives than anybody in this race and can be beaten by any one of 5 Republican candidates. I hope she is beaten by one who isn't pro choice, anti-gun and pro illegal.
b.s.
I guess they didnt watch Top Gear from last week on BBC America. Funny episode even though I think it was staged.
When you take into account Swift Boat and Willie Horton kinds of ads then the sky is the limit. This poll is a meaningless name-recognition poll of the ENTIRE populace.
