Angus Reid Global Monitor : Polls & Research Giuliani Edges Two Democrats in 2008 Race February 19, 2007 (Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Republican Rudy Giuliani holds the upper hand against two prospective Democratic presidential nominees in the United States, according to a poll by Gallup released by USA Today. 50 per cent of respondents would support the former New York City mayor in 2008, while 48 per cent would vote for New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In a contest pitting Giuliani against Illinois senator Barack Obama, the Republican holds a nine-point advantage. In other match-ups, Arizona senator John McCain trails Rodham Clinton by two points, and is tied with Obama at 48 per cent.
On Feb. 16, Rodham Clinton discussed the situation in Iran, declaring, "It would be a mistake of historical proportion if the administration thought that the 2002 resolution authorizing force against Iraq was a blank check for the use of force against Iran without further congressional authorization. (...) If the administration believes that any, any use of force against Iran is necessary, the president must come to Congress to seek that authority."
In American elections, candidates require 270 votes in the Electoral College to win the White House. In November 2004, Republican George W. Bush earned a second term after securing 286 electoral votes from 31 states. Democratic nominee John Kerry received 252 electoral votes from 19 states and the District of Columbia.
Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next presidential election is scheduled for November

Hunter will edge Guiliani in the primary though. :o)
The pollsters are going to make a fortune over the next two years.
I'm stunned that people actually think a liberal with a GOP badge is better than a liberal with "Democrat" after their name. Both will be very bad for the future of this country.

Take your meds.
;-)
I wish I could and call it a day. Instead I['m gonna have to fight for the candidate whom ALL conservatives will rally around and be proud to vote for. Look forward to you joining the team in about 6 months. Cheers.
Oooh golly, a neck-and-neck horse race between two liberal Democrats. You know, when you've got two Democrats on the ticket, the Democrat wins every time.
Hillary should threaten to take away their profits.
Why do people hang their hopes on polling? You might think that after the recent history of polling would show that they are not at all to be trusted...la
Title ought to read "Three liberals Lead Polling." Ah, yes, Rudy, the MSM-chosen republican candidate.
Post 7 applies to you too.
Some of the polling was pretty damned accurate.
Perhaps. But at least 1 of the 3 liberals won't outsource our military to the UN and surrender both Iraq and the WOT.
Is that the pic from when Rudy raised money for the Stonewall Veterans, a militant gay organization with ties to an anti-war communist group?
Not bad at all. He beats both Hillary and Obama, in the poisonous political climate of today.
No, I believe that was when he raised money for 9/11 relief. Shame on Rudy!
Only after it became apparent that McVain, their first choice, is sinking.
