I’m still trying to track down the poll that Hotline mentioned last month that reportedly showed Sen. McCain with a lead in California. Every California poll that we have come across since we started reporting poll results shows Hizzoner with a commanding lead, including the latest from the Public Policy Institute of California:
PPIC California Poll, conducted March 13th-March 20th, 2007:
Republicans
- Rudy Giuliani – 33%
- John McCain – 19%
- Newt Gingrich -14%
- Mitt Romney – 7%
Democrats
- Hillary Clinton 35%
- Barack Obama 24%
- John Edwards 14%
- Bill Richardson 6%
As of today, state polling shows Hizzoner enjoying double-digit or nearly double-digit leads in the critical early primary states of CA, FL, PA, NY, IL, and NJ.
Thanks to Flap for the tip!

While it is important to look at national polls, this nomination will be decided by the early primary states.
It’s hard to imagine anyone, but McCain, being able to challenge Rudy in these states. There is no way a traditional Republican will be able to compete in these states: CA, FL, PA, NY, IL, and NJ.

minnesota: “Hizzoner” is a nick-name for all New York mayors.

Politicians, as a general rule, are arrogant sob’s. Perhaps it would be better not to encourage that particular trait.

In Washington it is a tradition to be corrupt and useless. I have a problem with that and yes I want to change it. Not all traditions should stay. “Hizzoner” isn’t a term I would ever use with a politician.
