To those saying that Giuliani is polling ahead of either Clinton or Obama in hypothetical races, check your facts. In a little over half the polls, he carries a narrow lead on Clinton, mostly within the poll's margin of error. In a few, Clinton has a non-significant edge herself. But Obama is leading over any Republican candidate in most all of the "hypothetical" polls. Ironic since he still trails Clinton by a decent margin.

Here's a great link to a compilation of all of the polls taken on this subject:

I really can't see a Republican coming out to win the race this cycle. To win their primary, a Republican has to be staunchly pro-war. But the general electorate is strongly opposed to the war. As the general population gets more keyed in to the election and the lead candidates, you'll see an eroding of support for any pro-war candidate. The continued escalation of the war assures that it WILL be the central issue for the next election, and that favors the Democrats. Unless something changes that turns public support for the Iraq war, a Democrat will be elected. Either Clinton or Obama (hopefully Obama) will be our next president.

Book it.
