How about a Giuliani/Huckabee ticket?

More than anything, this confirms that Rudy's new found plan to compete in NH for the win will not get anywhere. Even if he rises in NH in the next 2 months, he will lose in Iowa and Romney will be boosted again. Full analysis here.

The SC Dem results seem very out of line with what other polls are showing. Also, hasn't Hillary consistently polled higher in ARG than in other state surveys?

Jake D., Giuliani is a loser. Your most likely outcome might be a Romney/Huckabee ticket.
Daniel, why don't you ask Josh Marshall for a job?

As has been discussed at pollster.com in some length, for whatever reason ARG in Iowa has consistently polled Clinton a bit higher and Edwards a bit lower than the average of the other polls.

These polls cannot be kind to the cardiovascular systems of Obama and Edwards supporters, especially Obama's who'd seen some light yesterday in IA with the "unorthodox" IU poll that put him within 2 points of HRC.
