New Poll: Giuliani Would Trounce Hillary for President
    Rudy Giuliani would beat Hillary Clinton in a race for the White House in 2008, the latest Gallup poll reveals.

    The former New York City mayor received a favorable rating of 64 percent in the poll, with Sen. Clinton a distant second at 53 percent. Sen. John McCain tallied 51 percent and Sen. John Kerry got just 42 percent


Apparently enough people in the country, West of Appalachia or otherwise, think about the man enough to have him "trounce" Hillary in a hypothetical matchup.

Granted a lot could happen between now and a hypothetical election day matchup between the two, but obviously the man's got the name recognition to do this well in an early poll.

What's with the hostility towards Hillary? She was rated 81st best attorney in the USA by American Lawyer in 1992. Corporate litigator. You jealous or something?



Why does everything have to be personal with you some days?

This poll is about Guiliani and, to a lesser extent, Guiliani vs Clinton. As a Republican who is active in politics on many levels and who studies politics on many levels, I am aware that many, many, Republicans consider Hillary their bete noir. I simply noted that fact.

As for myself, do I like the woman personally or politically? No. I find her pushy, arrogant and willing to put ambition over principle on many levels. I think that a large chunk of the policy mistakes that her husband made as President were due to her influence. As a conservative I find many of her policies wrongheaded or dangerous for our nation. As a New Yorker I think she's worthless as a Senator, more concerned with her national ambitions then serving her constituency. But that doesn't mean I think she's stupid, either.

But this is a thread about Guiliani and how he'd fare in a national election. If want to start a thread about Hillary feel free to do so.
