Looks like Obama may have to start looking over his shoulder.

Hillary is a lock. She owns the major media and will run a ruthless campaign.

She will be almost impossible to stop on her way to the WH.

National polls this early don’t mean very much. Polls in early primary states are much more meaningful at this stage.

“She will be almost impossible to stop on her way to the WH.”

Why do you think the MSM keeps publishing articles about Giuliani to rile up conservatives, certainly not because the MSM cares about conservative valures — it’s because the MSM and the Democrats have a vested interest to make sure RG is NOT the Republican nominee, because he is the only one who can beat her.

That is true, and one a couple of days ago had Giuliani at 27%, although I think that one allowed for more choices.

I was listening to a pollster on larry kudlow’s radio show yesterday - his opinion was the the republican “brand name” is so badly damaged in Ohio, that he doesn’t think any republican candidate can win Ohio in 2008.

It certainly looks that way at this point.

It’s interesting, when the choice is Rudy, McCain or Neither, RG gets 52%, McC 29%, and Neither 13%.

RG breaking 50% is a very good sign. Most Republicans understand the stakes and that Giuliani is the leader we need in these critical times.

This is not peacetime utopia, where any president will do, as long as he looks presidential, we need a real fighter in the White House, who will stand up to the “world opinion”, and deal with Iran and the terrorists.

BTW — in case someone missed it, John Bolton is advising Rudy. That shows Rudy’s approach to foreign policy. Maybe he’ll name Bolton SecDef or Sec of State and let the Dems and the world cringe.

You have one poll where Rudy has pulled ahead of McCain in SC. Other than that, McCain is right with Rudy in Iowa and NH.

How has the witch been polling in Ohio? Is she liked? That is a frightening thought.

I am hoping Bolton endorses Rudy.

It isn't just the Republican brand but the "conservative" moniker that is hurting. People felt they've had a "conservative" in the White House for the past two terms (I'm sure that thought will get plenty of reactions here, but out in the general population, that's probably right) and they don't like the result. Iraq is dragging everything -- even with a roaring economy, the President's handling of the economy numbers are abysmal. The people have accepted the demagoguery on the war and are unmovably opposed to it -- our enemies in the Islamic world have learned effectively how to defeat us using our own obsession with media and the 24 hour news cycle, and using our cut-throat politics (we are no longer one nation but two political camps) to create unspoken 5th column type alliances with one of our political camps.

There can never now be success in Iraq...because even if there is true success, our own people don't think it was worth it...and never will.

This has crushed Republicans and conservatives to the point that the only chance the Republicans have is to nominate a celebrity who also seen as "not conservative."

More interesting internals:

RG has 60% favorability rating among R primary voters, with only 10% negative. What is even more interesting that after another month of Rudy bashing, his favorability rating is UP from a month ago: 48% in March to 60% in April, and his unfavorability rating is down from 12% to 10%.

The Rudy bashing just doesn’t get traction — that’s why he will win the Republican nomination and can also beat Hillary.

I think the Rudy bashing actually is getting more votes for Rudy. It makes him an outsider who thinks for himself and tells it like it is.
