Hillary has the warmth of an icicle, while the US appears to be experiencing "Giuliani warming". >Among Republican presidential candidates, Rudy Giuliani garners the most support in all three religious groups. Giuliani has the highest level of support among Republican white evangelicals, though his support among evangelicals is somewhat less than among Republican registered voters overall. Support for Giuliani is also strong among Republican Catholics, with nearly half (49%) saying there is a "good chance" they would vote for him.<

Hypocrite Hillary>Choice of Chelsea's School (Another example of Hillary's pompous "do what I say, not what I do" attitude...especially considering the fact that the "No Child Left Behind" public school program was based on Hillary's education plan for Arkansas) July 23, 2007 >>Hillary gave an explanation I've never heard before for sending Chelsea to private school in Washington. "I was advised…that the press would never leave her alone because it was a public school," she said. It's a perfectly reasonable answer, and it may not be the first time she's given it. But here's what the Times reported back when the decision was made: In effect, Mr. Stephanopoulos said the Clintons had made a parental decision, not a Presidential one. They chose a school purely on the basis of what they as parents thought best for their daughter, setting aside whatever symbolic effect the decision would have. The last recent President with a school-age child, Jimmy Carter, sent his daughter, Amy, to Washington public schools. "They didn't reject public schools," Mr. Stephanopoulos said. "The schools in the District of Columbia and across the country are good schools, and Governor Clinton supports the public school system, as he has throughout his term as Governor and will continue as President. What they did was choose as a family Sidwell Friends. It's a good choice." He said the question of where the Secret Service would find it easiest to protect Chelsea was not an issue in the Clintons' decision. The Clintons said in a statement that "after many family discussions and careful consideration" they had chosen Sidwell, because "as parents, we believe this decision is best for our daughter at this time in her life based on our changing circumstances." Friends of the Clintons said today that the decision was based on their conviction that they simply would not sacrifice their daughter's education to make a political point.<<
