That’s what the press says.
It has some disturbing news for those who think Rudy has wide crossover appeal.
They asked their entire set of respondents (democrat/republican/independent) which of the candidates people would even CONSIDER voting for (kind of like a "if there was only one candidate, and it was this guy, would you vote for him).
Rudy only got 32% of the total respondents to say they would consider voting for him. Only 59% of the republicans would, and only 15% of the democrats.
Colin Powell almost did as well as Rudy in this poll. Ouch.
But as I said, it's an online poll. Does anybody in the real world believe that Colin Powell is the 2nd-best republican candidate for President, like this poll says?
Right. I don't know why any Catholic would support Guiliani, practicing or not. If the GOP nominates him, then the GOP has reached even lower than the Democrats. Of interest will be the position of the Catholic clergy who blasted Kerry to see if their issue is life or politics.
LOL
It seems like he said it himself, on tape, to Phil Donahue. Are you claiming he was misquoted?
“....or those who think Rudy has wide crossover appeal...”
Rudy Giuliani Tops All Others in New Jersey Poll (4-20-07)
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......

See post #59 for what pro-abortion Giuliani says.
Hardly.
I’m sure politicians “love” having questions like this about their children.
Actually, they're down closer to 6% (FR members) in the latest poll.
Are you an echo?
I know pro-life candidates would like this question. I’m also sure Rudy found it very uncomfortable.
Really? How nice to parade your child in front of the press so others get your point. Really nice.
*****************
Are you in denial? Would you say you are deliberately misrepresenting Giuliani's position regarding abortion?
Parading?
You're really reaching now.
But he didn't stop there. Instead, he volunteered to material abet his daughter's abortion.
This poll is old! Taken before Virginia Tech and S.C. ruling on late terms...and guns & babies is where RUD-dee falls on his keister!
Where?
I think you’re right.
This is going to be a long campaign, FRiend. Peace : )
Peace friend.
He said IF is daughter were pregnant and considering an abortion, he would counsel against abortion, offer to raise the child but in the end it was her choice.
Did he offer to pay for it or not?

The Catholics I know don’t publicly offer to pay to have their grandchildren killed in the womb.
He said IF is daughter were pregnant and considering an abortion, he would counsel against abortion, offer to raise the child but in the end it was her choice.
*******************
The actual quote from Giuliani is:
“I have a daughter now,” Giuliani told TV’s Phil Donahue. “I would give my personal advice, my religious and moral views…I would help her with taking care of the baby. But if the ultimate choice of the woman — my daughter or any other woman — would be that in this particular circumstance, to have an abortion, I’d support that. I’d give my daughter the money for it.”
