Drudge Somehow Misses StoryThe headline over there now is "CNN Poll Clinton Or Obama Would Beat Any Republican". Which is true, but hoo, boy, is it misleading. He's still trying to prop up Bernie, errr, Mitt. At the jump, we get
some details, but of course some are missing.
We can see that Hillary would beat McCain by 2 points, and Obama would beat him by 1. But where's the rest of the story? Obama would beat Huckabee by 19, and Clinton would best the Huckster by 14. But where's the rest of the story? Well, here's part of it:
Would Definitely Vote Against That Candidate in November
Romney 62%
Giuliani 55%
Huckabee 52%
Clinton 43%
McCain 43%
Obama 38%
Wow! Romney's clearly unelectable; that's a simply stunning number. To be honest with you, I'm flabbergasted that Mitt has managed to rub so many people the wrong way. I've been very critical of Romney, but if he were the nominee I'd vote for him without hesitation. And Guiliani at 55%? It's clear that the Democrats are preferred this season over Republicans, as I have been saying all year.
But where's the rest of the story? Well, you really have to scroll down a long way to see the other matchups:
Obama 59%
Romney 37%
Clinton 58%
Romney 40%
Now who's electable? This poll doesn't hold a lot of good news for Republicans, clearly. But at least they seem on the verge of nominating the man with the best chance.
