New Yorkers trust Clinton over Giuliani on Terra

Poll: New Yorkers Prefer Hillary Over Rudy...To Handle Terrorism!
By Greg Sargent - August 28, 2007, 3:42PM

As you've probably heard by now, Rudy Giuliani's 9/11 performance was a Masterful Display of Churchillian Resolve, and as a result, Rudy the candidate should now be seen as a kind of cross between the Terminator and Dwight Eisenhower, who ran for President after his stint as commander of the allied forces in Europe.

Presumably, the people who would best know this are New Yorkers, who got the closest view of Rudy in the disaster's aftermath.

So when New Yorkers are asked who they trust more to handle terrorism, Rudy or Hillary, naturally they pick Rudy, right? Well, take a look at this new Rasmussen poll. It finds:

Which of NEW YORK'S PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS do you trust the most to handle the War on Terror?

36% Giuliani
44% Clinton

-snip

Meanwhile, the poll also finds that Hillary is crushing Rudy the Terminator of Terrorists by an astonishing 25-point margin in New York, 58%-33%. Which would seem to make it tougher for Rudy to sustain his argument that he's the one who as GOP nominee would put reliably blue states -- such as his own -- in play.

1. Ha-Ha!

Go suck one, Guiliani.


So a terrorist attack automatically help the GOP, eh?

[rinsd]

2. He is such a douche bag.

[Joe Chi Minh]

3. Wouldn't they trust Osama Bin Laden more than Guliani?

[The Count]

13. I was just about to post something to this effect - and I am a New yorker too!

So, I guess, that's your answer.

[Sparkly]

4. Wonder what the MSM will do with this info?

Besides pretend they never heard it? :rofl:

[Adelante]

6. Yeah, this could be really significant for Democrats

If only it is heard enough to sink in.

[polichick]

5. Thank goodness!

I've never understood how so many people could buy Rudy's bullshit.

[ProudDad]

7. Fluff

Who cares about the phony "war on terra (tm)"

There's no such thing.

It's a myth to scare (and fleece $$ from) the sheep...

[The Count]

14. True that, but kept as a big talking point by MSM/propaganda

A lot of people still vote as MSM tells them to (hence the notion of "electability"). It's this fact that makes it significant.

[ronnykmarshall]

21. Anything that is postive about Hillary ..

would get a big dump from you. So what else is new?

[ProudDad]

24. Not talking about Hillary

just about the bullshit "war on terra (tm)"...

[SaveElmer]

8. It's interesting that in the two states where Hillary has held a public position...NY and Arkansas..

She is incredibly popular...those that have the most opportunity to see her and evaluate her performance give her very high ratings...

[fujiyama]

18. Is she that popular in Arkansas?

I'm not necessarily doubting you, but I got the impression that AR has become quite a bit more conservative over the last several years...

[SaveElmer]

23. Well if you go by polls showing her beating all Republicans...

By upwards of 18 points...

Even Rasmussen is showing her the runaway favorite in Arkansas...

[AZBlue]

9. Let's see...Hillary's actually helped the 9/11 workers, Rudy's made blood money off them.

Yeah, I'd have to trust HRC more too!

[Broke Dad]

10. Actually New Yorkers probably trust Castro more than Hizonner . . .

Have you seen this guy lately? Rudy looks more like death warmed over than Castro!

He was in Iowa at the State Fair and OMG! He either needs a week at a spa or a better embalmer! And seriously, the third wife's press is not playing well in Des Moines!

From Iowa it looks like Romney or Huckabee . . .

[AZBlue]

19. Thanks for the on-the-spot viewpoint!

I trust that so much more than the MSM's spin on anything.

Yeah, I bet Judy's not going over big there. Actually...where does she go over big?? LOL!

[ProudDad]

25. You mean this guy?

[rinsd]

11. And that should be the albatross hung on his neck.

[AZBlue]

20. If the Dem Party would just publicize that, he'd be a goner next week.

If he should get the nom, that has to be a focus!

[AtomicKitten]

12. Rudy is an empty suit and NY'ers know it better than anyone.

K&R#5

[The Count]

15. Il Duce is not an empty suit! There's a lot of thirst for power inside that suit

believe me! There's an ego bigger that the entire Bushco!

[AtomicKitten]

16. I stand corrected.

The swirling vortex of slime contained within his suit does, in fact, occupy space.

[fujiyama]

17. Nice to see Rudy going down

The more I know about him (or any other republican for that matter), the more I dislike them. I think the guy is just plain crazy and he'd go unhinged during the campaign.

[Cha]

22. New Yorkers should have fascistrudy's

number by now..except adam sandler, of course.

[ProudDad]

26. FYI - From Harper's

A fate worse than Bush:
Rudolph Giuliani and the politics of personality

For subscribers only, I'm afraid...

Basic thrust of the article is that rudie is a one-trick pony who was on his way to oblivion when his fumbling through 9/11 gave him a new life (afterlife? Enrolled him into the un-dead?)...

[IndianaGreen]

27. Like Bush, Hillary fearmongers Al-Qaeda as justification for keeping a residual force in Iraq

Fear is a proven technique to get people to do your own bidding.

We need a President that will turn the GWOT off, not keep it going to justify permanent war.
