What the "Experts" think about the Presidential Race
I'm on my lunch break, reading the latest edition of National Journal, when I saw something that I thought would be good grist for the moron-mill. National Journal polled their stable of Washington insiders (76 dems, 82 GOPers) to determine who the "experts" thought would make the strongest general election candidate in the 2008 Presidential election.
The results were as follows:
Democrat Nominee
Dem Experts
Hillary! 55%
Obamessiah 21%
Edwards 11%
Biden 5%
Richardson 5%
Dodd 3%
GOP Experts
Hillary! 52%
Edwards 18%
Obamessiah 18%
Richardson 6%
Biden 2%
Dodd 1%
GOP Nominee
Dem Experts
Rudy! 37%
Romney 28%
Thompson 14%
McCain 11%
Huckabee 9%
GOP Experts
Rudy! 37%
Romney 32%
McCain 18%
Thompson 9%
Huckabee 2%
Fox News' Miss Suzanne Sena 1%*
Ron Paul 0%
*OK...so I cast a write in vote that wasn't part of the official tally. It should have been though.
Make of these what you will. Do the Dems fear the Fred? Is the GOP gay for Edwards? Based on their relative standings, you might think so. I report, you decide.
