From the NY Post:The Garden State spells big trouble for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who gets clobbered in 2008 New Jersey test runs by Republicans Rudy Giuliani and Sen. John McCain, a new poll shows.
Giuliani slams Clinton in New Jersey 53 to 39 percent and McCain wallops her by 54 to 39 percent in the Quinnipiac University poll.
The poll could fuel Democratic doubts about Clinton because Democrats have been winning there. In his losing 2004 bid, John Kerry comfortably beat President Bush in New Jersey 53 to 46 percent.
Clinton gets clobbered despite the fact Bush is now very unpopular in New Jersey, with 65 percent of Garden Staters turning thumbs-down on the president.
Both McCain and Giuliani beat Clinton among women as well as men but she's weakest with men, losing to McCain by nearly 2-1 among men.
The March 8-14 poll surveyed 1,147 registered voters and has a 2.9-point error margin.
Wow, even in the weird blue state of New Jersey, HillRod loses to McCain or Guiliani. However, McCain will NOT get the nomination. Grassroots conservatives are sick of him and his romance with the MSM and liberal democrats. Guiliani remains an interesting pick, but he too may not get the nomination for being pro-choice and rather left in some of the social issues passionate to conservatives. If perhaps he led the ticket with a strong conservative VP, threemight be a chance.
