TRENTON, N.J. (AP) … New Jersey hasn’t supported a Republican for president for nearly 20 years, but a new poll released Thursday shows former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani leading all presidential challengers in New Jersey.

The Quinnipiac University poll found the Republican with similar leads over the three leading Democratic presidential candidates.

Giuliani leads New York Sen. Hillary Clinton 49 percent to 40 percent, the poll found. He leads Illinois Sen. Barack Obama 48 percent to 38 percent, and 2004 vice presidential candidate John Edwards 48 percent to 41 percent.

New Jersey hasn’t supported a Republican for president since 1988.

“”It makes no difference who the Democrats put up … Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or John Edwards … former Mayor Giuliani continues to knock out all challengers in the New Jersey presidential race,’’ said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

It's also been ten years since a Republican has won a statewide race in New Jersey -- even though the Democrats have consistently run a bunch of crooked scumbags who could fill textbooks with their personality disorders and psychiatric problems.

With every passing day there are more revelations about our former governor -- who celebrated the pending birth of his daughter by running around picking up anonymous gay sex partners at highway rest areas. And this moron would still win, if he ran again.

There is a party primary for the democrats in New Jersey. When there is a list of candidates, the people who support each candidate tend to say they’d vote for the opponent (in polls) so as to make that candidate look weak against the opposition, to make more support for their own candidate.

So Rudy beats each democrat candidate in a 1-1 matchup ONLY because in each case, he gets the votes of all the strong supporters of the other two democrat candidates.

But there is no way that those strong supporters of other candidates will actually VOTE against their party candidate in the general election. It’s a pipe dream.

I am sure the Rudy supporters understand this. They certainly are instructed to vote for the democrat in any opinion poll which asks about other candidates.
