Any one of our top four would beat Hillary IMO. Hopefully she’s the Dem nominee.
So who wants McCain or Rudy?
How does she do against Duncan Hunter? :)
Yo, John Cena...you can't see me!!!
I don’t think Rasmussen is going to poll matchups with Duncan Hunter for 2 reasons. 1) He doesn’t have a chance 2) The average american has never heard of him.
Why do you say that?
Or Fred?
Because while we at FR know all about Duncan Hunter, the average joe who has not even begun thinking about next year’s election has never heard of him.
So that means what, exactly?
(so far I agree with what you said)
How does that result in the conclusion he can’t win?
Hunter’s an impressive candidate.
Look, I think Hunter would make an awesome president. And would do a lot of good for America.
But he’s got too many dis-advantages right now. Lack of name recognition, funding, and just facing too many big names. He doesn’t have the money or resources to be able to compete with the GOP’s big 4 (Giuliani, McCain, Romney, and Thompson).
Our next president is going to be one of these eight people: Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama, John Edwards, or Al Gore (in the event he decided to run.)
The more Hillary is before the public, the more the public turn away. People are getting tired of her.
The number three Democrat in the polls has consistently performed better than Clinton and Obama in general election match-ups. Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards currently has a two-point advantage over Giuliani.
Hair over substance.
I think it will be Fred vs Hildabeast in the end.
Fred winning that one.
Bull. They sat out because they didn't want to finish behind Romney, Thompson (Fred), *and* quite possibly Huckabee at the event. McCain might have found himself finishing even further back. Neither of them could afford the embarrassment.
It’s simple, Cringing. You don’t do poll-matchups against someone like the beast, with huge name recog, and someone like Hunter, who is still just getting started getting his name out there. She would probably beat him in the current poll and, as you say, that would mean nothhing. So to the pollsters credit they aren’t doing that matchup right now.
Hillary isn’t going to get the nomination.
AlGore will.
Hunter doesn’t have the money base and he doesn’t have the name recognition to get the donations.
He is consistantly polling in the 1% range. I don’t see that changing.
