Ummm...no shit.
Second of all, I thought that this information was pertinent to this thread
From
http://www.politicalwire.com :
"Clinton, Giuliani Holding National Leads
A new Diagio/Hotline national survey finds Sen. Hillary Clinton leading the Democratic presidential race with 39%, followed by Sen. Barack Obama at 30%, and John Edwards at 11%. All other candidates receive less than 5%.
On the Republican side, Rudy Giuliani edges out former Sen. Fred Thompson 20% to 19%, with Sen. John McCain third with 17% and Mitt Romney fourth at 8%. All other candidates receive less than 5% each.
Meanwhile, a new George Washington University Battleground Poll shows Giuliani edging Clinton in a general election matchup:
Clinton 44%, Giuliani 50%
Clinton 47%, Thompson 45%
Obama 52%, Giuliani 43%
Obama 56%, Thompson 36%"
Also, I thought it was worth noting that Edwards currently leads in Iowa with 27% (I think Clinton is at 22%).
Clinton is the only candidate that leaves us vulnerable to another insane Republican regime.
And yes, fuck Rudy Giuliani.
