Obviously, way to early to predict anything, but it is interesting that Edwards seems to be the strongest Democrat.

Here's the latest Rasmussen results in match-ups of Edwards
and Republican candidates

Edwards (49%) Giuliani (43%)
Edwards (50%) Huckabee (41%)
Edwards (47%) McCain (38%)
Edwards (55%) Romney (29%)
Edwards (50%) Thompson (36%)

Here are Hillary's numbers:

Clinton (46%) Brownback (41%)
Clinton (50%) Gingrich (43%)
Clinton (47%) Giuliani (48%)
Clinton (48%) Hagel (40%)
Clinton (47%) McCain (46%)
Clinton (50%) Romney (41%)
Clinton (43%) Thompson (44%)

And Obama's numbers:

Obama (49%) Brownback (34%)
Obama (48%) Gingrich (38%)
Obama (43%) Giuliani (44%)
Obama (50%) Hagel (34%)
Obama (52%) Huckabee (32%)
Obama (44%) McCain (44% )
Obama (51%) Romney (36%)
Obama (49%) Thompson (37%)

It seems like a bad dream that the Dems have Congress and that this is the field of Republicans in 18 months. WTF.

Whoever takes office has a tough job and is destined to take the blame for all the screw-ups of Bush. This economy and real estate is about to take a huge dive, and our international respect is zero. It might be smart for Karl Rove to purposely lose this election, make the other side look bad, and then gear up immediately for the 2012 election.

We're closer to the bottom than the top in real estate now . . . and I've heard the same thing about the ecomony for, what, 5 years in a row ? I shudder to think of the money I'd have lost by not putting it in the stock market had I listened to all the chicken littles out there.

But, sure, getting out of Iraq and dealing with the Middle East isn't going to be easy.

Tell me, did we lose any international respect when we orchestrated that whole capture of 15 British sailors...?

Don't kid yourself. We lost far more respect when Bill Clinton was in office. They were selling "Billy Boy" rubbers in Moscow, laughing up their sleeve.

What Americans need to know is that, despite what the elites running the national media would have us believe, the rest of the world does NOT engage in wife-swapping, encourage recreational sex in every imaginable form of advertising, give protected civil rights status to homosexuality, or think it "natural" that kids start having sex in their early to mid-teens, or that husbands and wives cheat on each other, or have divorce rates of 50 to 65%.

All these things escalated like a wildfire in August under the Clintons. Now that's losing respect in the world's eyes.

I can't help but be amused by a post like this... essentially you're saying "It's way too early to predict anything, but here are some predictions."

Yeah, that makes sense

I've never cared what other people think of us, since everyone else has always wanted to be just like us, but to say that we globally lost respect under Clinton is beyond ridiculous. The masses loved Clinton. He was a politicians, politician. In Italy, they all loved him, and they all dislike Bush. Of course, there, it has always been a Dem vs. Repub thing. Italians have always liked Dem candidates more so than Repubs, as a mtter of political ideology. Italy is very socialist. What's interesting there though, is that they are moving more and more toward capitalist thinking. Prodi, the socialist president who narrowly defeated Berlusconi, is becoming very unpopular, and most of my friends and family there regret voting out Berlusconi who was more business, and free economy oriented. Italy is having a serious problem with illegal immigrants who are draining social services. Ah, but I digress.....

"A theory that explains everything, explains nothing"

Where are the particulars of the poll? It only says that there were 800 people surveyed via telephone. I couldn't find how many claimed to be supporters of which party. Does anyone see that anywhere on the site?

Man.....

Fred Thompson hasn't even announced yet, and he is pulling big #s. Shows how weak the republican field is at this early stage.


I'd love to have the choice of Obama and Thomspon. Kinda like the anti-bush / kerry voting for th elesser of perceived evils at the time.
