Poll: Hillary, Romney Lead In Michigan
A new Detroit News poll finds Hillary with a strong lead over Obama in Michigan -- a state that could conceivably assume more importance if it succeeds in moving up its primary, as its government is trying to do.
The survey finds that Hillary has 40%, followed by Barack Obama at 21% and John Edwards at 16%.
On the GOP side Mitt Romney's status as a native of Michigan has only given him the slimmest of leads over Rudy. He has 25% to Rudy's 23%, a lead that's within the poll's 4.9 point margin of error. Fred Thompson has 16%, while John McCain trails in fourth place with 15%.

I think the more striking and troubling poll today is the Rasmussen finding that Clinton loses to Giuliani 47-44. True, this is statistically insignificant, but at best it, and similar polls, cast doubt on the "electability" meme. Why doesn't she (or anyone else) run nearly as well as the Dem Party?
I'm starting to get a nauseating premonition about a rerun of the '04 farce.

I really is a shame obama and edwards can't get their campaigns in gear. Too bad.
