Has anyone seen the poll on AOL
It is funny. "How does the 2008 field look for you?" and it asks you to rate the candidates for the 2008 president race. There are 18 names listed, and only one comes out as positive on "Could you see yourself voting for ________ for president?" and that is Giuliani. :wtf: :rofl:

2. That was the strangest poll I ever took
They ask 'how likely you are to vote for' on only some of the candidates. Dumb poll.

4. Really?
When I took it, it was on all the candidates. But that was on the Compaq AOL site.

5. Yeah, really. It was weird. That's about as unscientific as you can get.

6. Poll is stupid...
because it really only works for people like Hillary, John McCain, or Rudy. The other poll right next to it is more telling. That was the one that said, "how much do you know about their views" For most of the candidates, the leading answers were somewhat or nothing.

7. Naaah! That poll is a joke. It doesn't represent anything.
People love to hate the people who have the guts to run for office. But most of us end up voting for someone eventually. That poll doesn't worry me one bit.

8. Polls dont worry me...
however, I am still very afraid of Rudy Guiliani because of his possible ability to carry states such as NJ and NY.

Giuliani Would Have Better Odds Running as a Democrat
Monday, March 05, 2007
By Martin Frost

When is the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination not really the front-runner?

When he is a liberal who in the past has supported abortion rights, gay rights and gun control.

When he has been divorced twice.

When he is not a white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant.

When his name is Rudy Giuliani.

Let’s look at the facts. All current public opinion polls show Giuliani in first place for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. A Zogby poll, conducted Feb. 22-24, shows the following: Giuliani – 29 percent; Sen. John McCain – 20 percent; and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney – 9 percent.

A Cook Political Report/RT Strategies poll, conducted Feb. 15-18, shows similar results: Giuliani – 32 percent; McCain – 23 percent; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich – 13 percent.

A Washington Post/ABC News poll, completed Feb. 22-25, showed the following: Giuliani – 44 percent; McCain – 21 percent; Gingrich – 15 percent.

What’s wrong with this picture?

10. I agree that the poll means nothing,
I just thought it strange that Giuliani was the only person who came out with a positive on the "who will you vote for" question. My money, for republican candidate in 2008, is on Gingrich or Romney. I think McCain and Giuliani will fall by the way side before mid-year next year. Could be wrong. :shrug:
