DEL.ICIO.USClinton and Giuliani lead South, says poll — but take it with a grain of salt
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A new poll of five Southeastern states, including Georgia, gives an early edge to Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani in the 2008 race for the White House.
The poll was conducted Feb. 18-22 by Elon University of North Carolina. Note that it has one of the loosest screens imaginable.
The 719 residents surveyed were drawn from the general population of Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina, and Virginia. This survey wasn’t about more decerning, likely voters.
When results were divided by party, the Democratic portion of the poll had a margin of error of 5.75 percent, and the Republican sub-sample had a 6.65 margin of error.
The Democratic line-up was as follows: Clinton, 30 percent; Barack Obama, 14 percent; and John Edwards, 8 percent. The rest were undecided or didn’t know.
Among Republicans: Giuliani, 21 percent; John McCain 16 percent; and Mitt Romney, 3 percent. The rest were undecided or didn’t know.

Well, with Obama out of the race, black people can vote for Giuliani and we will know who the socialists/Muslim sympathizers are when they vote for Queen Hillary. It would be great to have Rudy in Office, a Republican House that supports our troops and bombing the day lights out of the Mid East to rid it of Muslimania. A Gov’t that would outlaw Political Correctness. Outlaw quotas and forced Diversity, forced busing and deport hate groups and people here illegally who have broken the law (breaking and entering). Maybe, Rudy will be like Reagan. When in doubt-wipe them out. May the spirit of St. Ronald Reagan be with him.

“This survey wasn’t about more decerning(sic), likely voters.” Oh, that’s right - the south east doesn’t contain discerning, likely voters. The author of this story should spend more time being discerning in their choice of spelling.
