Democracy Now:Hillary beat Giuliani by 600,000 votes, without even showing up"

[robbedvoter]

Amy Goodman has Wayne Barret from Village Voice to comment of Florida.(he wrote a book on Rudy). he said the header words in the context: "We were always wondering about a contest between Hillary and Rudy"
he also said that Florida is important - because of the number of voters
On Rudy:
- wasn't true he only campaigned in Florida - he did his best in Iowa and NH
- he lost a newspaper endorsement with one answer to : "what would you do about Al Queda? "I'd take out the nations/states that help them"

1. So......

he's not going to be the Repug nominee.

4. I guess not...he said, for a change, media did its job - and it's true.

The question in my mind is: who gave the go ahead on them to do that? (call me skeptical - journalistic integrity - is right there with the easter Bunny.
Anyway, this is more fun for us NY-ers to read than the rest of you - in case you thought I made some GE points here. The scenario with these two came since 1999 - senate run. Then Rudy had scandals, got sick, withdrew. Then 9.11 came and Quinnipiac kept polling the two - in spite of no real race between them - at the height of Rudy's popularity. So, for NY-ers , this is satisfying, even if not GE related.

2. She clobbered him ROFL

I'm pissed that she won't gain delegates from MI and FL in the primaries, but the voters sent a strong message to the rest of the country right before Super Tuesday!

3. She also kicked McCain's ass with more votes for her than he.

:woohoo:

In 2004 786,203 democratic votes were cast. Kerry received 581,000,.Hillary got 860,000+

Also, remember, Democracy Now, Village Voice - not exactly Hillary fans. Which is why I appreciated their take of the Dem Fla race.
