Barone: Rudy Is The Hillary Slayer
Michael Barone goes deep -very deep – into the Rudy/Hillary matchup, and comes up with this conclusion:
Rudy’s electoral vote position against Hillary is much stronger than Bush’s against Kerry. Rudy puts almost the whole East into play and is significantly stronger in several target states in the Midwest and West. Hillary puts some states into play in the South but with many fewer electoral votes than Rudy does elsewhere.
Huh? Hillary in play in the South? I’ll believe that when I see it…
Robert, don’t abuse my comments section. We keep it clean around here, and besides, that’s a book you posted.
Fair warning…it’s going to take me five minutes to clean up all the f-words…
On second thought, I just deleted the whole thing – don’t peddle that crap around here…for those of you who didn’t see it, be glad. It was a totally coarse post containing every outrageous accusation against Bill Clinton imaginable. It was also far too long for a comment on a blog and contained numerous, numerous obscenities and graphic sexual descriptions.
Not here, my friend; not at my blog…
Hillary strong in the South BRONX maybe :p
I’m with you, Mark, but I’ve heard that Hillary did quite well in the upstate, which (or so I’ve heard at least) isn’t terribly unlike Nashville, TN.
Hillary does pol better in Arkansas than Kerry did and even won a head-to-head state matchups with Mike Huckabee. The other southern state Hillary could do better in is Florida, since the state includes a fair number of NY transplants. Here, I think, her appeal is overstated (especially so against Giuliani), but we’ll see.
