PollingReport.com: Time polls on different '08 candidates

[Bucky]

A Time Magazine poll shows the current support vs won't support numbers for the alleged front runners for president for 2008. At the apex of the current Republican meltdown, it still doesn't look too rosy for the names we keep on hearing out of the mouths of boobs.

Ex-filanderer Giuliani
. . . . Will definitely or probably support - 51%
. . . . Definitely or probably won't support - 40%

Senator Clinton
. . . . Will definitely or probably support - 43%
. . . . Definitely or probably won't support - 53%

Former vertebrate McCain
. . . . Will definitely or probably support - 40%
. . . . Definitely or probably won't support - 47%

ex-President-elect Gore
. . . . Will definitely or probably support - 39%
. . . . Definitely or probably won't support - 56%

Probable ex-President-elect Kerry
. . . . Will definitely or probably support - 34%
. . . . Definitely or probably won't support - 57%


Friends, there's a reason why the talking heads inside your television set keep mentioning the same three Democratic names. None of them has much traction among voters. Only Rudy Giuliani has any crossover appeal right now among the bigguns. I think they're trying to take us for a ride--and I suspect the next stop is Guantanamo. The smear on Democrats as weak presidents is long, strong, and still effective.

In other pessismistic news, the Republican confidence about the coming midterms is more than just putting up a brave front. Vote suppressing aside, they still have a powerful, well funded, and committed GOTV program in place for November. Do we? I suggest everyone in DU ask their local party this week what they can do--then arrange to take the day off from work on Election Tuesday. This is one area where each of us can--and must--make a difference.

1. So?

In 1990, no one would have considered Clinton. In 2002 Kerry, Edwards, Clark or Dean were not on anyone's lips.

3. The TIME type polls had ANYBODY, even Elizabeth Dole, beating Gore by

wide margins in 2000. They had Bush beating ANYBODY by wide margins in 2004.

They are WRONG. They also skew heavily to likely voters which is their code for heavy GOP voters.

People start to come to their decisions during DEBATES. They'll decide during the Dem debates. They'll decide during the general election debates.

The GOPs ANOINT and then use the media to craft a storyline. Dems decide as the debates go on.

4. I want Feingold on the ticket in 2008.

If he's not there or at least supporting it, it's bait and switch Republican lite.
