Pro-Abort, Pro-Gay, Anti-Gun Republican Tops Pro-Abort, Pro-Gay, Anti-Gun Democrat in Recent Poll
From Associated Press (via Yahoo):
ALBANY, N.Y. - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is maintaining big leads over potential Republican re-election opponents but would not fare as well among New York voters if she were to face former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani in a 2008 presidential race, pollsters reported Monday.
The poll, by Siena College's Research Institute, found the Republican Giuliani leading the former first lady 48 percent to 42 percent among registered voters asked about a hypothetical 2008 presidential matchup. The poll has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
In another possible 2008 matchup, Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona was favored by 46 percent of New York voters, compared to 42 percent for Democrat Clinton.
Other recent New York polls have found similar results.
The relatively strong showing by Giuliani and McCain against Clinton "will certainly put pressure on New York's junior senator to try and run up a big victory in her re-election battle this fall," [ED.: as well as put pressure on the GOP to sell out its principles to nominate one of these RINOs] said Steven Greenberg, a spokesman for Siena's polling operation.

UPDATE

THREE STRIKES
... analysts west of the Hudson see little chance that Giuliani will get the nomination. When asked why not, one veteran strategist in a competitor’s camp laughingly answers, “God, guns, and gays,” and — as though to drive the point home to Giuliani, who is a devoted Yankees fan — adds, “Three strikes, you’re out.” Like others, the strategist concedes that the public’s 9/11 image of Giuliani transcends partisan politics, but argues that the image won’t last in a heated primary battle.

Yeah, well. Any Republican who can win in NY probably can't win anywhere else.
Did you see the latest issue of National Review with Giuliani in drag on the cover? Expect to see that photo a good bit if he runs for the nomination
Rudy's either delusional or he's jockeying for the bottom half of the ticket after he loses. There's no way Rudy will be the nomine, and if by some freakish set of circumstance he is, there'd be a major third party presence that would probably tip the scales in favor of the Democrat—which wouldn't be that much worse, actually.
