As of polls a few weeks ago, Giuliani & McCain were both ahead of leading dem Hillary, though by single digits.
Basically the dems are fielding a disliked first lady, a first time senator whose popularity peaked too early, and a North Carolina attorney who served one senate term and then was part of last election's losing ticket.
I agree on Hillary, think you're wrong on Obama peaking too early since he's still gaining name recognition, and think that Edwards may benefit from not having spent too much time in D.C.
That said, I think they all get wiped (Dem or GOP) if Al gets his ass in the race.
I get the sense from young people I talk to that Obama is the only one stoking their imaginations. Maybe freshness and poise beats experience and jadedness?
And the democratic ones don't?!

I'd say 2008 is up for grabs.

Hilary and MccCain should save the dough and stay home.
ReplyDeleteOur only hope is Obama.

ReplyDeletePoise. Now that's a concept.
ReplyDeleteI want my president to appear smarter than me, even if he isn't.
I want to see a suit not a t-shirt.
