1. wait until America --

--actually hears Giuliani.

He's going no place but further down.

[dflprincess]

4. We said that about Bush as well

a race this close would be very easy to steal.

[Richard Steele]

20. Wait until the MEDIA spends a year boosting him, and smearing her.

Guliani in a landslide.

[qanda]

2. Am I missing something?

"According to the poll, Clinton leads Giuliani by just one point, 46 percent to 55 percent, a statistical tie."

Or did they make a mistake?

[CorpGovActivist]

3. That's a Typo...

... I noticed it, too. Other versions of the story have it right, with 46 to 45.

5. Thanks. I was thinking that my adding just isn't what it used to be.

:-)

[Atman]

10. I thought it was just the newest version of the BushCo accounting system

You know, the formula that tells us that tens of thousands of layoffs, billions in mortgage foreclosures, skyrocketing prices for food and fuel, PhD's flipping burgers = "A strong economy."

6. The more people hear Hillary, the more she turns them off

The voters will turn to the man in the blue suit(John Edwards).

7. Im So Sick Of This....

....For crying out loud....there is a year to go and the conventions haven't been held.......Hillary and Rudy are going to screw up, you cant go that long without being battered and discredited in which case both have much skeletons in their closets yet to come out.


I am so tired of the candidate crossing party lines to take swings at each other...I thought they were to first run against each other within their own party then after the convention the two party's were suppose to take the gloves off...

It ain't going to be Hill and Rudy...America is screaming for REAL CHANGE and these two are far from that...they are the DOLLS/WHORES of the media.

[AndyTiedye]

8. We Need a Better Candidate!

GORE FOR PRESIDENT!

[Atman]

9. BULL FUCKING SHIT. It's a contrived media horse-race for the ratings.

So, General Electric and a conservative financial newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch find a cross-dressing, lying freak tied in a dead heat with a corporate shill. Notice how since BushCo installed it's new voting system, EVERY election is a virtual tie?

BULL FUCKING SHIT.

22. Thznks :-)

14. Means shit. That freak is unknown to Americans so far.

ANY Dem candidate will crucify him.

[riverdeep]

15. If only the media would do their job and tell the truth about Rudy.

They're doing a decent job, for them, telling something of the truth on Hillary, but they've fallen into that same patriotic blackmail of not questioning anyone associated with 9/11.

After the 2004 vote, when enough Americans voted for Junior to allow them to steal it, I don't have much faith in Americans to avoid gullibility.

[dysfunctional press]

17. you mean like they did about dumbya...?

NOT!!

[mmonk]

16. Rudy cannot become president and this country make it any longer.

Of all the candidates, he's one of the most dangerous, especially with the unitary executive setup (which is why we should impeach and reestablish the rule of law as much as possible).

[riverdeep]

18. Rudy is like Bush on steroids.

It's hard to believe there is someone out there worse than Bush, but I look at Rudy and think 'oh my god, there is!'. He's actually more belligerent, more smarmy, more war mongering, more apt to shut down dissent, and in short, more dangerous than our present Dear Leader. The only hope for the planet if Rudy gets in is our economy goes into total meltdown and we become unable to function. Terrible way to go, but a strong America led by Rudy, is a dead planet. No, I'm not joking.

[Seabiscuit]

19. What a thought. America might just have to self-destruct to save the planet.

Ouch!
