Giuliani wins over all Democrats? What went wrong? [View All]

A quote from Salon's "War Room" section:

It's way too early for polling to mean too much in the 2008 presidential race, and national polls aren't the ones that really matter anyway. But for what it's worth, a national Quinnipiac University poll out this morning provides a look at possible head-to-head matchups: Rudy Giuliani leads Barack Obama 44-41 percent, Hillary Clinton 49-40 percent and Al Gore -- who isn't in the race -- 48-41 percent; John McCain is tied with Obama at 42 percent but leads Clinton 46-41 and Gore 47-41.

How did this happen? Giuliani was supposedly this corrupt, bed-hopping politician that denied the air of New York was poisonous after September 11. How is it this awful choice is beating Democrats hands-down?
