2008 polls now mean absolutely nothing. Or as much as "Who's going to win the Superbowl in 2008?" polls do. I can tell you there is zero support for Hillary amongst Dem party influentials I've spoken to, and McCain and Guliani not only cancel each other out, but they are both disliked by the radical Bush wacko base. McCain probably will win the nomination, but many rightwingers will stay home. As for the Dems, it's got to be a man, #1, and it's got to be a macho man and/or centrist. Bayh is making a plug now, and he may become an Edwards like dark horse, but it's still Warner and Kerry as the only ones with the money who fit the bills. Biden is also trying, of course. Hillary may not even run. If she does, she will be sorely disappointed.

Gallup: 4 in 10 Republicans Find McCain 'Unacceptable' By E&P Staff Published: July 19, 2006 8:55 AM ET NEW YORK A new Gallup poll asking Americans theirs views of 25 leading candidates for president in 2008 found that one of the Republican frontrunners, Sen. John McCain, is judged "unacceptable" by 41% of those in his own party. A bare majority, 55%, find him "acceptable." In contrast, 73% of Republicans give their okay to rival Rudy Giuliani. Condoleezza Rice got the thumb's up from 68%. Most of the opposition to McCain comes from conservatives, possibly explaining his moves in that direction lately. Interestingly, the Republicans with the highest "unacceptable" ratings are Vice President Cheney (61%) and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (52%). On the Democratic side, the surpise leader in the acceptable column is former Sen. John Edwards, with 71%, followed closely by Sen. Hillary Clinton and Al Gore. Their "not acceptable" tags are fairly low and not all that different, at 25%, 29% and 31% respectively. Sen. John Kerry had the fourth best rating. Howard Dean comes in with 54% unacceptable, however. editorandpublisher.com

I really will be surprised if Hillary will end up on top... It is clear that the democrats want someone they can believe in, which leaves Hillary and Kerry out. The question is, can the deomcrats field a good candidate?
