1. David Thomson:Newt Gingrich is going nowhere. He is indeed a gift to the Democrats. Forget him. I still think Rudy Rudy Giuliani is the best bet for Republicans.

Mar 27, 2007 - 6:14 am 3. dougf:I would like to see one of these guys just come right out and say that the Pajamas Media Poll is completely whacked .
Not only is it an Internet Poll which almost by definition is largely suspect but it consists of a self-selecting voter base.
How long can Bill Richardson lead the Democratic side before someone just calls bull**** ? If that side is so out-of-true(and it IS), how accurate can the Republican side be ?
I like these guys, but would prefer less 2008 Electoral Politics(as if we should even be looking at 2008 in 2007 ) and more Major Issue Discussions. All the current US system does is elect people in a never-ending electoral cycle. With no concern for WHY they might or should be elected, or what they should do once they get elected(hint— answer is NOT to immediately start on the re-election campaign). All sizzle and no steak.
More steak guys.
Please
Mar 27, 2007 - 7:47 am 4. Alexandra:dougf, your comments are only partly valid. More Republicans probably log onto this site, skewing the poll more on the Democrat side. Giuliani is in the Republican lead, as he is elsewhere. Nothing startling there.
Mar 27, 2007 - 8:02 am 5. postroad:Republicans voting here voe for Richardson; overall, though, most voters prefer Obama, Clinton or Edwards.
Rudy leads for Republicans but I think he will begin to fade very soon. Intelligent conservatives seem to be
Mar 27, 2007 - 11:18 am 6. Brian:heading for Fred Thompson
Ron Paul also polled 1% in the new Gallup poll. Is he going to be included with Fred Thompson?

Mar 27, 2007 - 3:47 pm 7. Webutante:This is great fun so keep it up and keep it short and light.
Miniter is the best. And on the more superficial side, I think this week’s jacket is a little less distracting than the first one in which he looked like he came off the cover of a J Crew catalog.
Mar 27, 2007 - 5:50 pm 8. Dom:Much better jacket. Both presenters would benefit from acquiring a hearty media chuckle, a big boisterous Ha.
Mar 27, 2007 - 8:34 pm 9. syn:Embracing Plamegate’s icon of Wilson’s Lies puts a damper on Pajama Media’s credibility.
I mean really now, I know Pajama Media is attempting some sort of ‘centrist’ platform but having Corn as representative anything rational is only useful for moronic idiots.
Mar 29, 2007 - 3:45 am 10. Erin13:Hillary Clinton is not electable; Edwards is a one-issue candidate.
Mar 30, 2007 - 6:28 am 11. Change Agent:Obama has little experience; Dodd is unknown outside the Northeast.
Biden has a plan for Iraq, can negotiate across the aisle to get bills passed, and is a seasoned professional.
That USA today poll only goes to show how uninformed people are, not knowing those leaders shows how dumbed down people have been and how much of a horrible job the media does..RON PAUL is leading in the pajamas poll because he is the best candidate in this country, and once he gets some MSM coverage he will spearhead his way to the top..RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT..abolish the fed and irs!!
