Just look at the background of leading CPOD pollsters, based in Canada, and can anyone doubt their objectivity?:)

CPOD

[sandbar]

What about Hillary against Condi???

[uncbob]

Ahem
Please tell which of the 51% that voted for Bush in 2004 is going to vote for these DEM losers in 2008

The only hope the dems have is they refine their fraud techniques and that the colleges turn out enough new brain washed dumb downed boobs

Or that Hillary goes far enough to the right to DUPE some CC types

[Verginius Rufus]

The chances that Kerry could win the nomination in 2008 if Hillary wants it are pretty remote. In any case, it is very rare for a party to renominate someone who lost before...the only 20th-century cases for the Democrats are William Jennings Bryan and Adlai Stevenson.

Since the Civil War, the only men to be nominated and win after losing a previous election are Grover Cleveland and Richard Nixon--and Cleveland is a special case since he was a former President who had been defeated in a close election while getting more popular votes than the winner.

Kerry might want to encourage speculation about a possible second try to enhance his standing in the party, and to discourage Teresa from thinking of dumping him. If he were to win in 2008, he would be the third-oldest President ever at his inauguration (after Reagan and William Henry Harrison).

[Idisarthur]

This is nonsense. Hillary will never win even against the physically unattractive McCain. Hillary physically looks like a well fed Teletubby. Appearence is so important.

Men will never let Hillary win or anyone for that matter within the next 100 years. Also men loving hetero women would not let this happen. A Teletubby as president of a superpower.. unlikely.

[Bluegrass Conservative]

The results here aren't necessarily popularity, but more based on name recognition. John Kerry just spent two years building up great name recognition, and Hillary has more than she could ever want. Bill Frist and George Pataki are still only well known names to political junkies and the people they represent in Tennessee and New York. And, I think the fact that, other than the residents of Florida, the most people know about Jeb Bush is who his father and brother are, that wouldn't shouldn't be taken as gospel either. Lots of flaws with these polls. I'd actually be interested in seeing "generic Republican" vs. "generic Democrat" right now.

J f'n Kerry was the worst presidential candidate this country has ever ran. Just my oppinion. And with how far he got thats gotta tell ya something.

[Voice in your head]

I just conducted an informal poll in my household and I will share the results here:

Donald Duck(Disney) 100% - John Kerry(Commie) 0%
Mickey Mouse(Disney) 100% - Hillary Klinton(Commie) 0%
Some shmoe chosen at random 100% - Hillary Klinton(Commie) 0%

[tellw]

Other high-profile Republicans who may run for office in 2008—such as former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and Arizona senator John McCain—were not included in the survey.

Why? Were the pollsters afraid of seeing Hillary or Kerry 20 points behind "high profile" Republicans?

[ken21]

why would we want a 3rd bush?

this country rebelled against england to rid itself of royalty .

as it is, 2 bushes and 2 clintons will amount to 28 years of my life.

[Cicero]

Asking how two very famous names will run against three people who are probably unknown to most of the respondents (except that Jeb Bush has a recognizable last name) makes little sense. Hillary Clinton has enormous name recognition. John Kerry has had enormous publicity from the MSM for the past year. Pataki is known only in New York. Most people never heard of Frist, who keeps a low profile. Jeb Bush is at most a face and a name.

In other words, this is completely meaningless.

What will count is what people learn when some candidate actually runs. For instance, Pataki is a do-nothing governor, has made New York into an economic disaster area even worse than Mario Cuomo left it, and favors partial-birth abortion. In other words, the more they learn about Pataki, the less they will like him.

Frist would do better, but doesn't have the guts or the fire to win.

Jeb Bush would be a magnificent candidate. But will people vote for a third man from the same family?

[finnman69]

CAN I VOTE FOR NO POLLS TILL 2005 PLEASE?!!!

[marvlus]

The latest polls show the child of Jenna Bush beating the child of Chelsea Clinton by 63% to 37% if the 2052 Presidential election were held today.

[texasmountainman]

Didn't the last fox poll before the election have Kerry leading Florida by 5 points? Let's see I think Bush won by 5 so Fox was off by 10 points in Kerry's favor. I think this latest poll is strictly a gimmick for ratings during the Christmas season.

[tellw]

Pataki won't even be a factor if he's tossed from the governor's mansion in NY by Spitzer. Jeb has already hinted he wouldn't run in 2008. Frist has a chance but only if he makes some extraordinary achievements as majority leader with 55 Republicans. Killing the filibuster on judges and getting the GOP majority up to 57-60 in 2006 *might* do it, but even that's a long shot. Assuming Giuliani is in the race and some top governors are in the race (e.g. Romney, Owens, Pataki), Frist will be an also-ran.

psychosis [sy.KO.sis] (n).

“The inability to distinguish between what is real and what is imaginary. Psychosis is a term used to describe a severe mental illness. Psychotics are characterized by a variety of symptoms that most people consider abnormal. These include experiencing delusions, such as the notion that one is being persecuted or conspired against. Psychotics may see things which don't actually exist and hear Voices (i.e. God) when no one is around. They often exhibit compulsive, irrational, ritualized behavior, esp. when such behavior serves no purpose or is even harmful or disruptive to those around them. They show no concern for others but may exhibit total self-centered behavior. Includes sociopathy, schizophrenia.”

[ORECON]

Would not!

[trebb]

However, if either Pee Wee Herman or Pat Paulson try for the Dim ticket, Kerry would not survive the Primaries.

LOLOLOLOL.....what's this....roger ailes on drugs!!!!!!!!!!

[InvisibleChurch]

i guess we'd better go ahead and give up
