Early Support for Rudy in NJ
In a poll taken in New Jersey by Quinnipiac University, Rudy Giuliani is enjoying a wave of early support from voters overall:
Giuliani, a Republican, would defeat Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., 50 percent to 41 percent, based on a survey of New Jersey voters by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
In January, the poll gave Giuliani a 48-41 edge over the wife of former President Bill Clinton. She is the top choice of New Jersey Democrats.
Giuliani, the top choice among New Jersey Republicans, also would defeat Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, the second-ranking Democrat, 50-39.
Giuliani also extended his advantage over other GOP hopefuls. The poll found he had a 58-15 lead in New Jersey against Sen. John McCain of Arizona, his nearest contender, compared to a 39-21 edge in January.
This early in the race, we can't say this poll is definitive, but as New Jersey usually leans Democrat, this is interesting news indeed. Note the increase in percentage points between him and Hillary!
At the moment Rudy is my top choice. However, I am well away from actually deciding who to vote for in the primaries. There's a long way to go yet!
Garden State voters like Rudy
On a tip from Jeanette.

wow...
you know, the libs in the area, NY-NJ, (they seem mostly democrat anyhow), used to call Rudy a fascist.
but then again, they seem to call anyone a fascist, if they don't share their political views.
isn't that fascist?
