Poll: Just About Any Candidate In The Republican Field Could Beat Hillary Clinton

I really wish we could keep a lid on this.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton trails five top Republican presidential contenders in general election match-ups, a drop in support from this summer, according to a poll released on Monday.

Clinton’s top Democratic rivals, Barack Obama and John Edwards, still lead Republicans in hypothetical match-ups ahead of the November 4, 2008, presidential election, the survey by Zogby Interactive showed.

Clinton, a New York senator who has been at the top of the Democratic pack in national polls in the 2008 race, trails Republican candidates Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, John McCain and Mike Huckabee by three to five percentage points in the direct matches.

I’ve actually been saying for a while now that the best thing which could happen to the eventual GOP Presidential candidate is to have Hillary for an opponent.  I mean, talk about your easy targets.  Half of America dislikes her already, and digging into her and her husband’s history of corruption, lies, betrayals and scandal isn’t that hard at all.

I honestly think that Barack Obama or John Edwards would be much tougher “nuts” for the eventual GOP candidate to crack, if only because they don’t have all the Clinton baggage to lug around.

That would be a good point if Hillary’s unfavorable ratings weren’t atrocious in pretty much every poll that comes out.


The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

HILLARY-PUPPET THE LEFTIST DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE
Lacking for a strong real candidate, the dominant Leftist Democrats have run the Hillary-Puppet. The problem is that she has long been observed to be emotionally and intellectually deficient - the most intensely disliked of all the candidates; Google, Rasmussen Report.
Their clever solution is to systematically change her image; under the assumption that the American People are for the most part too simple minded to know the difference between realities and illusions.
To make the Hillary-puppet appear to be compassionate, meticulous studies are made of the social and economic needs of various social and economic groups, such as homosexuals and low income elderly voters.
To make the Hillary-puppet appear to be mentally superior; questions are planted in the audience, and her answers are rigorously rehearsed.
The fatal flaw is that the small group of Leftist masterminds behind this Hillary-puppet Show is just not quite clever enough to successfully pull off their scam. Moral depravity and intellectual bankruptcy are their own self-limiting handicaps.

That some one could beat Hillary really isn’t saying much.

I know you think that Fred will prevail, but to cite this poll to bolster his flagging campaign, a poll that Zogby is trying for the first time without the normal determniations of poll selection is telling indeed.

Do not underestimate the American people’s gullibility.  I lived in NY State when Hillary waltzed in and took it.  These NY’ers are “supposed” to be the most cynical and savvy people.  Will Hillary become president?  Will we all come down with “HDS”?
