Hillary crushing Rudy in New York

I'll step outside of Virginia politics for a moment to help crush an argument I've seen for Rudy's 2008 candidacy: that he would put New York in play, even against Hillary.

Well, not so much:

In one-on-one matchups with Republicans, Ms. Clinton outpolled Mr. Giuliani 53% to 32% and Sen. John McCain of Arizona 55% to 26%.
Nevermind!

"Hillary is unelectable" meme.  I guess the right-wing noise machine failed again on that one.  How sad (boo-hoo).


In a poll taken last fall (Chris Guy - 2/5/2007 5:02:45 PM)
Hillary also beat Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in his state by 15%. http://www.arkansasn...

I'll say this for McCain, at least he could carry Arizona.

Watch out: McCain may even lose Arizona (Shenandoah Democrat - 2/5/2007 8:19:34 PM)
Watch out for the suicidal Senate Republicansm led by ole "smart guy" Mitch--stifling even debate on Iraq. Outrageous! These guys are in for some tough times in '08...the netroots might not be able to beat sorry Mitch but we can take out a number of his useless cabal, like Sununu in NH, Gordon in Oregon etc. In such an environment Arizona might be tough race for McCain, given that there are the makings of a major politcal shift due to the miserable failings of Bush and the rethugnicans.


Not gonna be nominee just yet (presidentialman - 2/6/2007 3:08:34 PM)
David Broder's column today in the Washington Post titled "the other Democrats weigh in" was an excellent peice on how its way too early to seal the deal. The jist of the opinion peice is that both "front runners" Barak and Hillary, failed to dominate in a DNC debate of presidential contenders, Richardson and Edwards stole the show.

One has to remember these polls of Hillary dominating Rudy in New York, don't account for will Hillary dominate in Nebraska or Kansas.  Also, this board went to graeat lengths to elect anti-Iraq war Jim Webb, but we're talking about how pro-Iraq war Hillary Clinton can win. It just seems that the left hand isn't aware of what the right hand is doing.
