Edwards 43%
McCain 47%

Edwards 41%
Guiliani 50%

Edwards 51%
Romney 34%

Edwards 50%
Huckabee 33%

The fact of the matter is this, McCain has a neglible lead at this point, only 4 points, and Guiliani will never win the nomination as long as he remains pro-choice, pro-gun control (which actually puts him to left of me) and pro-gay rights (I've never really understood what he's done that's pro-gay rights anyway?). McCain is despised by conservative activists, and Guiliani, while not despised, simply can't win when the field is eventually narrowed to him and a conservative, whether that's Brownback, Huckabee, Romney or Frist.

Clark/Edwards, Edwards/Clark. It's all good to me.

1. Of the current crop

Edwards is by far the strongest candidate we have.

2. Rudy?

Forget his "socially liberal" stance. Wait until the NY Press gets done with him. If the people named CORRUPTION as their #1 concern now, Rudy will be TOAST.

Ask any New Yorker who didn't develop amnesia after 9/11.

3. Edwards and B. Boxer

Edwards and Sebelius

Edwards : Clark

4. McCain and Guilani are TOO OLD.

6. guiliani

is only 62.

[patrice]

10. That's almost too old.

The Democratic bench is Deep.

John Kerry will be 65 in 2008,
Wes Clark will be 64
john edwards will be 55
Bayh will be 53
Hillary Clinton will be 61
feingold 55


to paraphrase yoda, age matters not.

15. Mc Cain is a gluten for punishment,

and Giulani, don't make me laugh, who is going to kiss up to the religious right, Mc Cain, Guilani, or Romney??

[A-Schwarzenegger]

23. But is he wheat intolerant?

[sabbat hunter]

5. a tad early

i think it is a tad early to be putting any creedance into presidential polls.

[patrice]

8. It's still a snapshot of a moment in things that change, but not absolutely.

[rocktivity]

7. Clark/Edwards? Well, you're half right...

:evilgrin:
rocknation

[patrice]

11. I'm flexible.

[bdamomma]

14. that would be an interesting combination Edwards and Clark

but I wouldn't sell Edwards short, he has been out there, and he cares about people who do not have enough food on their tables.

[tridim]

9. Based solely on name recognition..

The poll is in line, but otherwise pointless.

[patrice]

12. It's a snapshot, a frame in a film, or part of a story-board.

What's the story?

[onecent]

13. I don't see much that says Clark has the desire to run? Am I

missing something????

[Charlie Brown]

16. Guiliani? Forget it

A pro-choice candidate will NEVER be the Republican nominee for President. It will be really comical watching the former Mayor of "liberal" New York try to sell himself to all the Rapture-ready Jesus minions in the heartland.

17. I think as things move along, Edwards will impress.

I was impressed last night when he answered questions at Meredith college. He is prepared.

[Jack Rabbit]

18. I think it is more important that he is behind McCain and Guiliani

Only a real news junkie knows who Romney and Huckabee are.

[wisteria]

19. Polls are meaningless at this point in time and if it is Rasmussan,

it is extremely suspect. IMO

[Octafish]

20. Gee. No wonder so many people wanted to dump on Edwards.

The guy's a threat to the Establishment, ja?

[Catchawave]

21. And this is two years out !

Cool beans :)
