I’ve been wondering when Barack Obama might start to show a little movement - well, one poll does not a movement make (ouch! That’s weak), but the latest Zogby results have to make Hillary a bit nervous:

Michael Barone goes deep -very deep - into the Rudy/Hillary matchup, and comes up with this conclusion:
Rudy’s electoral vote position against Hillary is much stronger than Bush’s against Kerry. Rudy puts almost the whole East into play and is significantly stronger in several target states in the Midwest and West. Hillary puts some states into […]

One of the huge advantages of a Rudy Giuliani candidacy is that he gives Republicans a decent shot (not a lock, but a shot) at Northeastern states that are otherwise out of play. Consider the margins between Hillary/Rudy and Hillary/McCain in this 2008 poll from Connecticut:
Clinton 46 - Giuliani 44
Clinton 48 - McCain 40
Clinton 55 […]

About a year ago, we learned that Dick Cheney, whenever he travels, makes a series of specific demands for hotels where he’ll stay, including having all hotel-room TVs tuned to Fox News.

Terry Moran of ABC has just penned an inane, intellectually dishonest piece in which he implicitly suggests that conservatives and Republicans are racists and bigots. In the days before Fox News and the blogosphere, conservatives would have no way to respond to this sort of slander. Now, we do. As such, it’s […]
