CNN

Can anyone in this form picture the ads that Mitt, Thompson and McCain will be throwing at Giuliani in a few months? They already have more ammo then if they had John Kerry windsurfing, duck hunting, sipping Chardonnay all at once while attending a Planned Parenthood event. If you ever get a chance turn on some far right Christian Radio station and just listen to the loathing they have for Giuliani. That’s a real shame because his is the only person that could stop Hillary on the right.
The public has changed since 04 on issue after issue the Dems hold a strong advantage (plus 20 on the economy, plus 10 on Iraq, split on terrorism) Issues such as the three G’s. Guns, Gods and Gays have slipped from the public lexicon and have been replaced with Iraq, Global Warming and the missing middle class with all this said; Hillary is only slightly ahead or tied with Giuliani!!!! Why would or should she get the dem nomination. It’s like the dems are Charlie brown trying to kick that football election after election.
All liberals on this forum (I include) have to admit that Hillary will not take a position until it has been tested and formatted and this will cost her. Just look at how in 93/94 she was all fore free health care and now she takes that most money out of any Senator from big Pharm. To the republican base Hillary is what Farwell, Dobson and the like are to us. If we as Dems are so stupid to run a Northeastern Senator for 4 out of the last 5 presidential elections then we deserve to lose.

I can't tell you who wins if it's Clinton vs Giuliani, but I can tell you who loses: America

The democrats could nominate beelzebub, and they'd still win against any republican, no matter who the nominee is! Now that we've seen what an evangelical Christian administration and congress looks like, too many Americans are too scared to vote in any republican, even a true conservative.

Ill tell you what, Republicans are making the same mistake Kerry made in the 2004 election, they are concentrating on who not to vote for (Hillary) as opposed to why people should vote for Republicans. And as we can see, it didn’t work for Kerry and It wont work for the Republicans. I also must say that at this point Rudy cannot win because of two things; any votes he could pick up because of his certain liberal attitude would be sucked away by the already threatened third party that would be created if he is given the Republican nomination. Romney cannot win because despite his Christianity his Mormonism is considered a cult by many Christian Conservatives. Obama is black (Im not a racist just a realist) and Edwards is just too weak (poverty isn’t what people want to hear about). Now I must say Hillary isn’t the inevitable winner. She will win unless she really messes something up which I don’t think she will. But again anything can happen. Oh and one thing for the Democrats lets take a page from Regan’s 10 commandments, Thou shall not attack a fellow Democrat.

Hillary will wipe the floor with Rudy.

No sweat.

they both suck!

Ron Paul is gonna maul them both.

It really doesn't matter what Rudy Giuliani has done in his personal life, he could have been divorced five times for all I care. You don't need to be a great person to be a great leader. And that is what this country is searching for. I supported him on 9/11, as did most of us. However many of those that did support his leadership are now criticizing it simply because of their political party; talk about hypocritical. Wake Up and realize elections shouldn't be about parties, we should be electing the best leader to office! Stop judging based on personal lives – The point is none of it matters. We need a Great Leader NOW – and in my opinion Rudy Giuliani is the only candidate so far that has demonstrated this characteristic.

Wait until Americans see this Giuliani fruitcake in his dress...he is a nutcase psycho...And what experience does he have? The mayor of Mayberry would do a better job.

Colbert. Colbert. Colbert. Look out Dems. you might be shooting youselves in the foot! The more road blocks you set up for the man the more attention he gets, and his supporters become staunch.

A problem with Hillary is that she would leave the country as divided as a repubulican winning would. That's why we need a candidate who can work well with both sides. Due to stuff like that, I've settled on Joe Biden. Check out the Iraq plan he has put together, who he got to vote on it, his experience, and his plans.

Hillary will win this election 100% for sure. Rudy will just embarass himself but will receive the Republican nomination.

Hillary the 44th President of the United States of America. Madam President. I AM ALREADY LOVIN IT!

I personally think Giulliani would win. His stance is relatively moderate, especially compared to Clinton's relatively far-left stance, making him more appealing to moderates. Giulliani takes the liberal side on some issues, leaching moderate liberals with conservative fiscal tendancies, and moderate liberals in general. Clinton has absolutely no unpartisan appeal. If religious conservatives can swallow their pride and NOT self-destroy their party primary, then Giulliani can and will win the election.

Hillary is about as electable as Dennis Kucinich. The news media is doing there best to elect her because they know that she can't win otherwise. What a joke she is. Rudy and Mitt are unbeatable. Everyone is critical of the war but it was O.K. for Hillary's husband Bill to threaten to bomb Iraq the night before his impeachment because he knew you can't impeach a president during war time. Do we really need these idiots(the Clintons) back in office. I don't think so. They only care about their personal agenda not the American people.

Why does the media love Hillary Clinton? It seems that not many others do. Think about it America: Bush to Clinton back to Bush and then back to Clinton? Royal families are for the 17th century, not today.

Anymore, it's not who wins between candidates. The American people lose either way because the quality of the rich "frontrunners" are so poor in both major parties. UGH!

2 big mistakes in this article: first, it is mathematically impossible for the poll of 1,636 people to have a smaller margin of error than the poll of 2,007 people; second, why is Guiliani being featured when the pro-Guiliani poll puts him only 2 points above Clinton, whereas the pro-Clinton poll puts her 8 points above Guiliani? And they claim the media has a LIBERAL bias? Give me a break!

Hillary will trounce Rudy.

Biden was right, all Rudy can come up with in any of his speeches is a noun, a verb and 9/11.

I can't believe there are people who actually believe this man is a viable candidate.

Hillary 2008, Yeah Baby!

Hillary wins every state Kerry won plus Florida, Iowa, New Mexico, West Virginia, Arkansas.

Plus shs is winning or tied in Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, Missouri, Tennesee, North Carolina.

MY COMMENT:
Hillary will be the next president if she will win just one more state than John Kerry in 2004. Her chance looks pretty good so far.

The truth is Giuliani is less impressive in person than he does in the polls. This points that to know Giuliani well is to hate him, and there are lots of people outside new york city yet to know him well.

His speeches are poorly prepared and convoluted, and he is given to silly gimmicks, such as stopping in mid-speech to the NRA to take calls from his wife on his cell-phone, and that was the second time his wife called him during his speech, presumably showing their happy married life.

It's obvious to me that among the candidates, Dennis Kucinich is the least ashamed of being a Liberal, and Ron Paul is least ashamed of being a Conservative. If the party members voted on who really represents the basic tenets of their party, these would obviously be the two candidates who would be nominated. Unfortunately the vast majority of any party's members find many reasons to disagree. Both Kucinich and Paul have consistently voted against all the Iraq resolutions, and each seems to understand that we need to seriously change course if our problems are going to find resolution. Unfortunately, neither of these candidates has a prayer of getting his party's nomination. We will be left to choosing between two candidates who are part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

I will take Hillary any day over Rudy Giuliani. We do not need another politician pandering to the far right. I look at it as hiring who is best qualified for the job. Hillary comes with 8 years experience of being in the trenches and has the guts to do the job. I do not see that in Giuliani who is running for a party so out of touch with reality.

If we Dems want to win, we'd better find someone other than Hillary. She is more vulnerable than Edwards, Obama, Dodd, Biden, or Richardson. There are reasons people do not trust her. And there is one very big reason the Republicans promote her–so they can win.

This is VERY VERY bad for Hillary and the Dem's.

With the built-in advantage they have going into this election (Iraq, Christian Conservative hesitancy to vote for Rudy, etc.) they should be WAY WAY further ahead than this.

Throw in her disasterous performance in the Philly debate and you have situation that is not looking good at all for Team Hillary.

Mrs. Clinton would be a hands down better President than Giuliani any time. Rudy has decided that the only thing he can talk about is 9/11 and that is his main claim to fame. Where are all the media reminders of the disasters of 9/11 where the rescue workers were told the air was safe and now thousands are suffering, or Rudy not doing anything about the communication systems earlier so the police and fire rescuers could communicate on that day, or putting the response centre in the wrong place after being advised not to? Or how about the memos just out that he says he knew all about ALQaida before 9/11 and then it seems he didn't, or when asked about things he tells people to go ask others because he doesn't know about it? How about his judgement in putting forth Bernie Kerick for Homeland Security Head? How about him saying he would quit his job months ago yet he is still working? How about the reports of his misleading advertising about cancer rates in Britain? How about being so sarcastic that he says Clinton or Obama are trying to decide whether to invite Ahmadinijean or Osamma to the inaugural ball or the inauguration? Is this what the world and the US needs or wants for another 4 years? Calls to invade yet another country from a "tough guy" when your military are stretched to almost the breaking point now? I know I certainly don't wish to have another republican succeed into the White House if it means another needless war for the whole world to endure just because someone wants to flex his muscles and say he's the toughest guy on the block. Funny also how republicans complained about the Clinton marriage yet they seem to be willing to overlook the multiple marriages of a possible republican candidate...or do marriage issues matter only depending on which party you belong to?

Either way, the American people lose. . . . . . . . What happened to allow two identical candidates to run against each other? Republicans and Democrats alike should be ashamed.

The poles are not a reflection of what the amjority of our country thinks. Hillary Clinton is a disaster in the making and making her the victor would ne the end of America and its freedom. Vote Republican and save the American way.

Hey H. Tamir
I also am a former New Yorker who lived under the Guiliani reign. He DID NOT reduce crime in NYC. Bill Bratton,
the former Police Commissioner, did . Bratton lost his job because of Rudy's childish jealousy. That id why I hate Republicans. They take credit for everything and blame for nothing/

Oh, good it is a year away from the actual election and I hadn't seen poll for about 1 day.

I can't understand the attraction to Hillary. She flips flops weekly (or more frequently as shown in the debate on Monday), she has never been in charge of anything and half the people can't stand her.

Lets see...Rudy turned NYC around and tells the religious right to go pound sand. Romney turned the Olympics around, Edwards has a cause and Obama connects with people.

Hillary has no resume, but only the typical political rhetoric that we should all be tired of. Doesn't it "take a village" to get anything done in DC? I just love hearing all these thing Senators say they will do once President. I guess they can't be bothered to do anything while just some lowly member of the Senate.

Either of those two would be an absolute tragedy for this country. We need to re-invent the political wheel and either of those candidates would just give us more of the same crap. I'd like to see Steven Colbert vs. Ron Paul... now there would be a good election.

Can't we do anything but bicker at each other? I mean I want a Clinton/Obama ticktet but I am not going to thrust my belief down other peoples throats. Do we really have much power after all due to electoral system? We are running the course to a Roman like collapse every societial expression shows us that. Lets be nice to each other please, we need reforms but we can do it with kindness. Oh and all you Ron Paul people, your admirable, I wish there was a way for there to be more important parties beside the two...

9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 If theres one thing that 9/11 has taught us is that... ummm I forgot... 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11

We are at war. We are involved in an UNJUST war based on false pretenses and astronomical costs. Now how do you think this is paid for?.. TAXES!.. How do you think the "tax rebate" some time ago is paid for?.. BORROWED MONEY FROM CHINA which will have to PAID BACK. People – get your heads out of the sand. This is yet again about picking the best of two evils. The lesser is the Democrat whoever it is. We've had nearly two terms of an idiot running the country INTO THE GROUND. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!.. If Hillary gets the nomination, she will get my vote.

People are smarter now than ever. Believe me…..women is as smart as men. Hillary will win.

Giuliani will win, getting tired of the Clintons and their BS thru out the years.I have no problem about a woman President but at this time Clinton is the wrong choice. She's great at covering her rearend but the USA is just a little bigger

National polls don't even matter, the electoral college decides the winner.

When you look at state by state results, its very favorable for Hillary.

Hillary wins every state Kerry won plus Florida, Iowa, New Mexico, West Virginia, Arkansas.

Plus shs is winning or tied in Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, Missouri, Tennesee, North Carolina.

Seriously, she could pick up close to 400 electoral votes.

National polls dont matter

Hillary v Rudy I wouldn't vote for either of those clowns.

After watching the last two debates, Guiliani has a new ally in his quest for the nomination–Tim Russert who was as nasty and sarcastic as I can remember in his blasting Sen. Clinton dripping with drunken spite and spittle.

Lets say I wanted Hillary to win....I would call the blind faithful of Hillary (aka...illiterate) – people like Greg Boon...viola! Hillary would be the front runner....but....if I wanted a true poll...then it would be truly blind...and polls are meanless anyway...(well...except the one that shows Giuliani winning that is)

Two points 1st Hillary has and will have a HUGE amount of money advantage over any Republican. (Right now she has more then Giuliani, McCain, and Multiple Choice Mitt combined!!) 2nd as Charlie Cook said a few months back I have a better chance of winning the Tour De France then Giuliani does at winning the republican notation because of the Christian Identity leg of the Republican Party. That’s a shame because as a life time liberal I would consider voting for Giuliani over Hillary. It will be Mitt vs Hillary and Mitt will only carry the deep south and the handful of states out west.

"People are smarter now than ever. Believe me…..women is as smart as men. Hillary will win."

CLASSIC!!!

How most liberal democrats who support Hillary and Dems think:

"Since anyone who cannot see Hillary would be the best President is clearly insane, and since insane people should not be allowed to vote, why do we need to have an election?"

This is not how moderate Americans feel at all, in fact they despise people like this. Only a liberal democrat can be so hateful, partisan, and elitist to think that all Americans who don't think exactly as they do shouldn't be allowed to vote. Sure the lib democrats will say that I'm insane, but I feel that the lib who wants to end elections and put restrictions on who can vote based on ideology is the insane one. If we were to put restrictions on who can vote (a lib democrat idea), then wouldn't it be more appropriate to not do it by ideology but based upon who is contributing to our society and who is a leach that lives off of other people's hard work? (If we only allowed the givers to vote and not allow the takers (welfare recipients) to vote, then no democrat would ever be elected again) That would be fairer than only allowing lib elitists and their entitlement class drones to vote. Since I'm not a liberal democrat I want all Americans who are not felons to be able to vote, but I'm the intolerant one, right?

It's not clear who wins in Clinton-Giuliani matchup, but it's obvious who loses: the American people.

If our choice is between these two idiots, there's no hope for America getting back on track. Might as well tear up the Constitution and make it official.

Hey, I could be a democrat GOP candidate all I have to do is bash Bush. Here is my pesentation; Bush lies, Bush kills people......uurrrh what eles do I have to get me elected...Bush failed policies....uurrhh oh and I don't have a solution for that so if you guys think I can win the Democrat GOP debate please respond.

We have much better choices than either of these candidates. I don't believe that the majority of the general electorate wants either of these folks.

Two words. RON PAUL. But go ahead and let the media make your minds up for you. They wouldnt have it any other way. RON PAUL 08'
One of MANY MANY supporters of Dr. Paul. PEACE TO YOU ALL

I was thinking about voting for Clinton, but she never answers a tough, direct question.

I'm not a big Giuliani fan, but at least he appears on TV shows that are un-friendly to the Republicans, and answers tough questions and gives a firm stance on the issues he believes in.

First Guliani has to win republican nomination. All the democrats want him to win. Secondly, most of the conservatives do not know his positions on many issues concerning their platform. Once they know, where he stands, they are not going to vote for him. And, lastly Hillary will chew him on the national debate. People are definitely prefer Bill as the first man vs Judith as first lady. If not, then this country is looser. Four more years of same old misery.

Rudy will in the end win the election if the people of the USA want a true leader they will vote for Giullani.

Whoever keeps bashing Giuliani and supporting Clinton is completely ignorant. First of all let me begin with Rudy. The man cleaned up one of the greatest cities in the world and turned it into what it is today. He reduced crime, cleaned the city up, built a huge surplus, and created many more jobs for people. The man has experience and accomplishments, if you disagree please read the facts. Hillary on the other hand is a flip-flopper that would turn our country into a socialist welfare state run by feminists. The woman obviously has no respect for human life (strong stance for abortion)and wants to make everything available to the poor through the government. Things like health care can be attained in different means. The government never promised to provide health care services to the people but rather have it available so that they may seek it. Read Giuliani's plan and see which solution to health care is more reasonable in a country like ours which is run by a CAPITALIST ideology. Even Democratic candidates bash Hillary, not only because she is a threat but because she is popular only because of her husband. Everything she says is vague and she never elaborates on her ideas or keeps one position. I understand that Giuliani is also "pro choice" and has been inconsistent on the issue. He has however made it clear that he would appoint strict judges that would work on a way to solve the question of abortion.

if republicans win the next election this country will fall....without any doubt it will be our final downfall! there is NO WAY TO STOP TERRORISM!!!! no matter how many soldiers you use. guerilla warfare is almost impossible to defeat...and when you fight harder its like throwing gas over fire. we are doing aweful and unfortunetaly its out kids who will see the true impact of what is happening and i am someone that really cares about my son's and other childrens future i will leave this country if republicans win because there will be no coming back from that we are at the tipping point....

I'm tired of these national polls- they mean nothing- Guiliani can't get the nomination because he's a liberal. The Christian right will never let him in. The polling in the primaries for every state shows this. The media is trying to push this Guiliani v. Clinton thing.

Do you think for one minute, Hillary would not tear Rudy a new one on the campaign trail. This guy, much like our current doofus, can not put a complete sentence together off the cuff.

Rudy will ultimately have to answer for his record as NYC mayor, including the conduct of his police officers while he was in office. Remember Amadou Diallo? The unarmed African immigrant who was shot 19 times by NYPD officers while leaving his apartment? Apparently, he was reaching for his wallet - a crime punishable by death if you're a black man in Giuliani's New York. Or what about Abner Louima, the Haitian immigrant who was brutally sodomized with the handle of a plunger in an NYPD police station? That happened under Rudy's watch as well. When will people start asking these questions? Do we really want this man to be president? The notion scares the living daylights out of me.

Enough already with the polls. Who are these polled people anyway? Sitting around answering phone calls and doing polls, are you kidding me? I have never been polled and don't know anyone who has. Maybe I should quit my job, sit by the phone, order a pizza and Coors lt and wait to be polled!?. Unbelievable. No wonder these polls always deliver bad news, these people are lonely and miserable.

Fortunately, Ms. Clinton kept focusing on her agenda. That's how it go She really is very intelligent. The men thought that being Clinton a woman, they can scare her or punch her of their tricks. Ms. Clinton, knew their tricks. They want to be recognized and try to get her out of being on top, they cannot stop her. People are smarter now than ever. Believe me.....women is as smart as men. Hillary will win.

I don't think Guiliani will be the Republican nominee. If he is, he will not be even close to Clinton in the election. His personla lifestyle as far as marriage is concern, is so worst that he will be in power, he will dumped ended up dicorcing his wife and make every possible reasons to do so. Just look what happened from all his previous marriages. He will take advantage of being in power and try to attract new prospects. All he did anyway was to used the September 11 for his existence. That's what happened to this adminstration. Their agenda: September 11 and war. They did for the country? I don't think so. Anyway, I don't want to remind myself about the war in Iraq, all those that were killed due to the war. So far, Clinton is the best fit for the Presidency among other candidates. We the people of the United States are smarter than ever now regarding voting. We showed it during the elections for the Senate and the House. Whatever happened in the past, we look forward to the future of our country. I am very proud of all the soldiers who risks their lives, whom my son is one of them. We just need to move on. The Democrats need to clean up this current situation of our country. And I know it will take time.

Google Ron Paul.

I lived in New York city, in the Giuliani days as well as clinton's.
What Giuliani did for New York, proved his capability, skill, and genius.
Not only because of September 11, but for everything he had done up until that point.

Guiliani would be more dangerous then Bush and Clinton would be a huge mistake if she was elected. She would be a do nothing President and she cannot be trusted.

Think Ron Paul.

He is the only candidate who actually speaks the truth about our disfunctional government and he is the only one who would make a positive change in government unlike all the other crooks in this race. Think about it. Ron Paul gets all his donations from the American people. The others get theirs from special interests. Who do you think they will be working for. Not the American People. This is not brain science.

If these two really get to general election, Clinton will probably lose. For a long time, I thought she will win, but the more I think about it the more I think she will lose. Yes, she has more national political experience than Giuliani and she will probably have more campaign money and more media coverage. However, her performance in the last Democratic debate really shows her weakness. She has taken too many different positions. I am not talking about switching positions in a matter of years. She switchs positions in a matters of weeks and days. In fact, John Edwards was correct in the last debate, she literally took two opposite positions in a matter of two minutes. At the end, it is much easier to bring down the image of Hillary Clinton than Rudy Giuliani. Some will say Giuliani supports an unpopular war, but that is not enough to take him down. If it is, he won't be running neck to neck with Clinton, so does John McCain vs Clinton. In fact, people should look at it the other way. Guiliani despite supporting an unpopular war still manage to run neck to neck with Hillary, which mean aside the war, he is certainly more popular than Clinton. In short, when teh campaign run into the "character attack mode", she will impode. We all know through out all general election, presidental candiates always start off with positive image and ends up with negative image. She will not survive.

I'm sure Giuliani will end earmark spending just like Bush did in his first six years when he didn't veto a single spending bill put up by his GOP Congress. Six years straight with record budgets? The GOP spends just as much except it's on projects they like rather than what the Dems like. Difference is the hypocrisy on the GOP side...

Clearly, Giuliani is the choice over Hillary. Giuliani may support continuing the Iraq war until the end of time. He may also be a deplorable person. But at least he will end earmarks and pork barrel spending, reduce the federal government and all the waste and inefficiency associated with it, and will not grant amnesty OR driver's licenses to illegals.

Vote for Hillary 'take money from individuals for their own good' Clinton and see the economy end up like a Communist bloc country. At least with Giuliani you won't be seeing all you worked for taken away and given to welfare mom's and illegal immigrants.

What about HuckabeeMcCain ticket. I believe they will unite the military and conservative base. Huckabee was not scared to address the minority. he was not scared to address the AARP. He is the ony true social and fiscal conservative that can have a successful run against any of the democrats

Thomas in St. Pete....for whom DO you vote then? Someone on the GOP side? Is Giuliani really your ideal Catholic candidate?

Done with Republicans! How do we forgive ourselves for the 911 horrible tragedy in not getting Osama Bin Laden who is reponsible. Stop covering your heads and look at the real picture. Take a real good look at our country. Children are killing children, A war is still going even no one can actually say why?, Medicare is in trouble which means we aren't taking care of the elderly, Veterans Benefits are the pits, Economic picture is bleak even though the Republicans say it's strong. Housing Market for example. Jobs lost everyday due to companies sending their business overseas for child labor. Enough is Enough!

Giuliani does not have chance. Try Senator McCain vs Clinton, in which case Hiliary goes home to NY and Bill.

Both would not change a thing and most people deep down know this. I believe Ron Paul is the best choice in giving the people more choice at the local level and reducing the size of the federal govt. Who would want more federal govt intervention in our lives??

No Thanks Can we have another?

Hill would beat him....easily

Hillary will defeat Giuliani completely in General Election. I am looking forward Republicans numbness at General Election. Hillary will make Giuliani's nose flat and snub. Republicans are dreaming like Obama, but it is impossible dream, so wake up.

Mike from green bay....really?

Giuliani will never be the candidate because of the religious right. Look for Mike Huckabee to "surprise" in Iowa and roll from there.

I would choose any of the leading Democrats over Giuliani in the general election. Rudy continues to disappoint me with his divisive nature and poor judgment. I cannot in my conscience support the Republican frontrunners when they purposely avoided the debates dealing with the concerns of the black and Hispanic communities. We need a president that will represent the interests of all Americans, and these Republicans appear sadly lost in that respect.

If you use 2004 as a baseline (Bush 62 million, Kerry 59 million), Giuliani automatically starts at a disadvantage because he loses quite a few million social conservative voters who had voted for the President-they probabaly would stay home. So that makes it roughly Clinton 59 million Giuliani 56 million. But then assuming that Giuliani can pick off some of the voters that had supported Kerry last time from Clinton, he'd need to pick up say 1.50 to 2 million such voters. That means about 3% of the Kerry voters would have to cross over for Giuliani.

The first question that comes to mind then is by what logic a person who didn't like the President would like Giuliani-the only answer I can think of is social issues. Perhaps someone who is hawkish on national security and also an economic conservative but is very sensitive about say abortion rights or gun control may be one of these cross-overs. Question is, would that be 3% of the Kerry voters?

Interesting race indeed: But its' generally going to come down to the same 3 states (Fla, PA and Ohio). Whoever wins 2 out of the 3, wins. I have no doubt that Giuliani will win Florida. I just don't know about the other 2. There may be a few other states exchanged but they probably wouldn't be enough to tip the election-Iowa may swing back to Dems, Clinton has a shot at Arkansas, Giuliani may pick off Washington State.

My gut feeling was telling me up to June that Dems would win this time but after the immigration bill died, I think the GOP united itself on other issues and I'm quite certain that the Republicans will hold office for one more term b/c nationally, national security is still a big issue. And the Dems just don't have anyone in the running that is strong in that area. I really doubt that they will nominate Biden or Lieberman, the only 2 who are somewhat credible there among Dems.

giuliani is an idiot. i like it when the republicans talk about family values and the some of their party jumps out of the closet and shows them what the word hypocrite means. the republican party supporting a dimwit in the whitehouse, supporting a no win war, creating more enemies than frends. even the old worn out rag karen hughes is jumping off that sinking ship. we owe the chinese so much money it's no wonder they send painted toys with lead in them. our deficit is now the highest in history, our health care system a disaster and if congress dares to try and fix the problems out pops king george with the veto stamp. george h w bush vetoed the family leave plan which shows like father like son. our borders are not secure and our illegal immigration problem is beyond repair. good job georgie, now the next idiot in line (giuliani) wants to continue over the same cliff. even vladimir putin is upset with bush and his missle defense shield. we bought off n korea for now. so what's next? attack iran and do something else stupid. maybe that little buck tooth rice thinks she brokered a peace deal with israel and hezbollah but it won't last long. clinton v giuliani? gee, i don't know why we would want to change all the wonderful things bush has done for the wealthy and corporations in this country. when he and cheney leave office, both will laugh all the way to the bank and leave behind a huge mess to clean up if it even can be. giuliani is not the man.

Hillary despite all odds will be a better president than tyrannic Guiliani who believes in ruling by the sword or War monger. Please Americans we shouldn't vote for this guy he will be worst than Bush, counts on sept 11 for his best moments instead to be ashamed than 3000 people died under his watch. IT is really disengenious for this guy to take advantage of this sad moment to be the main reason for his candidacy meanwhile his poor communication between fire fighters and NYDP let to more deaths than the actual incident.
I will vote for Obama/ Edward ticket because hillary is a continuation of the status quo. The Clintons and Bushes were not ordained from God to be the only ones presidential. If Hillary will release documents concerning her failed healthcare plan of 90's and her involvement which are the bases of her experience and atleast speak the truth, appologise for all deaths for the fail Iraq policy she voted for and Iran just to pander to the Jewish lobby than reason.
She is a media candidates and those of her husband friends just to compensate for political gratitude during his presidency thank God for TIm Russert he is my HERO.

Obviously, polling at this stage is highly unreliable. None of the polling at this point in earlier campaign cycles has been predictive of anything except name recognition.

How does Giuliani expect to win the election when he's campaigning on a platform that 70% of America is in disagrement with?

They can say all they want about Hillary being unpopular, but the Iraq war is far more unpopular than she is.

Biden can take Gulianni on all issues. Gulianni is a opportunist at it's worst plus the man probably has 9/11 tatoooed on his chest. It's funny he always talks how great he was on 9/11 but New York Firefighters and 9/11 Surviors think differently. Biden made some valid points at the last debate about this man he hasn't made New york safer after 9/11 he hasn't fixed anything the 9/11 commission rcommended. All talk and no action isn't what we need for America.

I personally am a huge Hillary fan, but...I do not understand why the media will allow America to decide rather than force feed her. Rudy WILL NOT win the nomination. No way any Conservative would allow it and if by some grace of God, Rudy is the next President, I'm crossing to the Canadian border. It would Cowboy Diplomacy Part II and with a much scarier ending. Please America wake up; he is a fraud, disgusting, and a fear-mongerer.

It's sad when readers must tell the editors that the headline should read:"Clinton V. Guliani: Who beats Whom." Who is a subject; whom is an object.

Since anyone who cannot see Hillary would be the best President is clearly insane, and since insane people should not be allowed to vote, why do we need to have an election? And since the epitome of evil, George Bush does so much damage to this country every time he wakes up, we should make Hillary President tomorrow. Immediately the world will be a much better place and Hillary can ship all those insane Republicans off to Guantanamo or somewhere where she doesn't have to hear them and be distracted from making America perfect again like it was when Bill was in charge.

The Pew's poll was actually supported by the Democray Corps poll of the same survey period, showing Hillary Giuliani by 4 pts.

It is still early in the game. While people have known and scrutinised Hillary for at least over 16 yrs which Bill as president and then her as senator, Giuliani is an unknown outside the new york city, who was a one day wonder on 9/11.

In my view, Giuliani is unelectable, and his poll standing, vs Hillary, will fall badly after the nomination. There will be more skeletons coming out of his closet. To know him well is to hate him. Just ask his ex wives, kids, the new york firemen and policemen. Just consider the following:

1. He is a father whose own children would boycott his inauguration.
2. He is a husband whose first wife was his cousin and whose current wife can't remember how many times she married.
3. He was a cross-dresser.
4. Gay-tolerant and prochoice, Giuliani contradicts, and even demeans, the "values" that have defined conservative America for a generation.
5. He is a Yankee fan who has been rooting for the Red Sox.

In short, he is a snake oil salesman, with conduct unbecoming to be the president of the united states.

The Media keeps Pushing Rudy and Hillary. I don't think either one of them will win their party's nod.
Not One vote has been casted and the Media keeps telling everyone it's over! Give me a break!...
Lets see where both of them stand on Illegal Immigration....They are both of the same mind.....
We will have other people to pick from and it's all about Immigration!!
It won't be Hillary or Rudy.

This is like asking the American public if they would rather lose their left eye or right eye. When given this choice, I'd rather be blind!

or this one!!!

Quinnipiac University was consistently closer to the 'actual' results in the '04 Presidential race if that helps. A Giuliani/Clinton match up will be nasty indeed. Many, many warts. Giuliani would come out on top as his warts are not as 'evil' as Senator Clinton's coverups. On the margin. Her proven divisiveness combined with her non-likeability index will serve to sink her 'boat' in the long run.

The reason that the polls are different is that polls are not generally accurate – especially now with a whopping 50% of voters still undecided.

American – Think on your own. The media is trying to shove a Guiliani vs Clinton election down our throats – don't let it happen.

Hillary will win hands down. she is saving the best for last. giuliani is acting more like bush everyday. which makes him more of an idiot....greg
