Poll: Barack Obama Does Better Than Clinton, Edwards Against GOP

http://www.lifenews.com/nat3155.html

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new Zogby poll finds that Barack Obama now does better than either Hillary Clinton or John Edwards against the leading Republican presidential candidates. While Rudy Giuliani and John McCain would beat the other two, Obama is the only Democrat leading in head to head matchups.
Against Giuliani, the pro-abortion former New York mayor, Obama would win 48-42, the Zogby poll shows. he would best McCain, an Arizona senator who opposes abortion, by a closer 46-43 percent margin.

Obama would beat former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who said he became pro-life a few years ago, and pro-life former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson both by a larger 52-35 margin.

I'll stick with what Democraic primary voters are thinking.

having picked losers in seven of the last 10 elections.

BTW that would be 6 of the last 10.

We'd do well to choose a candidate with a prayer of appealing to more than just Democratic primary voters for once.

Just to name a few.

I am not pretending Gore is the President, What I said was we didn't pick a loser, unfortunately SCOUTS did.

as for the rest, there are plenty of socially liberal, economically conservative Republicans who have seen the limits of force without diplomacy and are ready to support a Democrat. Demonizing non-Democratic voters is inane.

just so long as the dem votes for what we believe in.

That attitude of....'I'm sticking with my candidate no matter what, even if my candidate has the best chance of losing it for us'. Just brilliant.:applause:

"I'm backing the candidate that will make McGovern, Mondale, and Dukakis campaigns seems like winners."

Isn't it obvious?

~~~~~~

Oh, the looks on their faces would be priceless! Oh my God! If Obama was her VP that would just be too cool.

Still, I am praying that Al Gore will step in to save us from ourselves and have Wes Clark as VP. Two southern white protestant men are a winning strategy that has worked for us in the recent past.

Always check your sources.

LifeNews pops up first on Google as one of 10 options with the same pick-up of a Zogby poll. All you had to do was read the article to see it's cut-and-pasted from a Zogby press release.

"All you had to do was read the article to see it's cut-and-pasted from a Zogby press release."

The following is "cut and pasted" from Zogby? You sure about that, Beyond?

So they inserted irrelevant language about candidates' stances on abortion; doesn't change the fact that it's a story from Zogby. If it helps, here's an Angus Reid link with exactly the same information:

LifeNews link or not, the point of the OP stands.

come on people. We can beat any of their candidates. IMHO, their toughest one is McCain, and he's a real piece of shit. We can proudly throw out the very true facts of his "family values" and the way he treated his badly injured first wife to marry a richer, younger woman. Not to mention his admitted history of adultery.

I want Move-on to air ads showing McCain's open hatred of his party's christian conservatives. "agents of intolerance". Racism got the best of him in South Carolina in 2000.

Politico is reporting breaking news that Thompson is in. However, Politico has been wrong on a couple instances in the past. However, it will be interesting to see how his numbers will do as he gets more well known and as people see his trophy wife.

as a plus by the very group we need to woo and won't be able to with any of our front-runners: swing vote Bubbas (white males in the South and mid-West).

Thompson scares me more than anyone. I hear the euphoria over his presumed run every time I turn on local radio - and this is from the callers, not the hosts.

so why is HRC considered the front-runner when so many politicos say she can't win?
