If a new survey of registered voters is correct, a Democrat will win the 2008 presidential election, according to new CBS News/New York Times polls.

With more than 19 months to go before the 2008 election, Democratic voters are optimistic about their prospects — they like their candidates and they think their party will win the presidency in 2008. Not so for Republicans. Although there are many announced and yet-to-announce likely candidates for the Republican Party's nomination for president, GOP voters aren't happy: A majority — 57 percent — says they wish there were more choices. A significant number don't think their party will win in 2008.

"57 percent of Republicans say they wish there were more choices"

.

100% of Republicans say 'Any but Hillay or Obama'.

If it comes down to Giuliani vs. Clinton a Democrat is definitely going to win.

[Verax]

You see where that slogon got the Dems in '04 ?

[BurtSB]

Who the hell believes a poll from two DNC media outlets NY times and CBS good lord these are DNC propaganda outlets consider the source for crying out loud.
If Hillary is the nominee , Rudy would crush her.
Every reputable poll has shown that !

What other choices are there?

Since when have you started believing CBS polls!!!! They want exactly what is happening on this site-the Republicans to split and tear each other apart. They are helping the cause along.

"57 percent of Republicans say they wish there were more choices"

Now you're going to PO all the rudy bots. They'll spit the grape cool aide all over you.

[garv]

Like I said, either way a Democrat wins.

This is not a Republican site.

[BurtSB]

Comrade Hillary or any Dem in the WH plans to shut down talk radio and Fox News and the internet as soon as they get elected .Does Rudy have the same plan ? Get a GRIP !
The Dems are controlled by the radical left so WAKE UP !

[JHBowden]

Look at the 1991 numbers. Republicans were satisfied, Dems were dissatisfied, and the Dems won.

In 2008, whichever political party commits suicide last wins. The Dems have to keep their anti-American wackos from defecting, while conservatives will have to keep most of the socons happy without alienating everyone else.

[garv]

Yes, yes, we must abandon all hope of maintaining any remnant of conservatism and allow Rudy to save us from imminent dictatorship.

Unfortunately, Rudy is as big an authoritarian as Hillary.

I think I'll stick with conservatism and see how it goes.

How do you intend to keep "socons" happy with Giulianni?

[BurtSB]

Good lord, Rudy is not Hillary or Dem
The Dems are socialist /Stalinist now .
I suspect all this Rudy hate is just being peddled by DU pests trying to redo the 2006 election !

[JHBowden]

"How do you intend to keep "socons" happy with Giulianni?"

You don't. But many of these people aren't going to be happy no matter what, given they didn't turn out for people like Allen, Talent, and Santorum. In off-year elections the base is supposed to carry the day, and I don't think social conservatives have the political muscle they used to have.

Better to run our guy strongest on the defense, force Hillary to move to the center on defense where the moonbats are the most rabid, and make *them* hemorrage votes to a 3rd party. A good offense is a good defense.

[JHBowden]

strongest on defense, I meant to say, as on security issues, ahem.

[garv]

I don't hate Giuliani, but I do know that he is not now, nor has he ever been a conservative. I don't vote in an effort to defeat my own beliefs.

It won't matter though because Giuliani is not going to win the nomination.
