Clinton, Obama, Giuliani Rank as the Favorite Dinner Guests This Thanksgiving

Which presidential candidate would you invite over to talk turkey?
According to a poll from Quinnipiac University, Hillary Clinton is the one most families would want .
Maybe it's Obama's penchant for regaling hosts with tales of his life overseas as a child, or Clinton's folksy laugh — or even Giuliani's fabled homemade stuffing. But the leading candidates in the race for the White House were all pegged as the ones whose company would be most preferred this Thanksgiving.
The poll surveyed 1,636 voters from Oct. 23-29, with a 2.4 percent margin of error.

Glancing at recent national polls, it looks like far more people would vote for Clinton than invite her over for dinner, but she still takes the lead in this poll. Among the Democratic candidates, Clinton got 27 percent, followed by Obama with 24 percent and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards with 13 percent (742 Democrats responded, +/- 3.6 percent).

Hillary's "Folksy" laugh? That laugh sounds like something in severe need of medical attention.
Obama would stand up and make a 30 minute speech on why he wanted sweet tea instead of un-sweet.
Edwards would spend the whole time brushing his hair in the bathroom.
Giuliani talk about 9/11 and how he went through much worser times than the turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Ron Paul 08

Zogby's isn't playing fair. I wonder why.

Zogby's focus on Giuliani's success in one demographic is completely misleading and obfuscates the fact that Ron Paul won 90% of the categories in the survey. The fact that the headline of the press release trumpeted Giuliani, who distantly lags behind the Congressman in nearly all the key demographics, is a clear case of total spin.

Ron Paul dominated categories where the sample was both traditionally Republican and Democrat voters. Voters were asked which platform they favored - candidates A and D were Ron Paul and Rudy Giuliani respectively, but they were not directly named.

Amongst born again Christians, Ron Paul polled at 29.6 per cent, with Giuliani garnering just 22.5 per cent.

Amongst people with military in their families, 33.3 per cent supported Paul's platform, with 18 per cent supporting Giuliani.

Amongst NASCAR fans, Ron Paul polled at 32.5 per cent, beating Giuliani's 28 per cent.

Amongst women, 34.7 per cent favored Paul's platform over Giuliani's 17 per cent.

Amongst African-Americans, Paul trounced Giuliani, 40.5 per cent to Giuliani's 9.1 per cent.

Ron Paul's sweep in all these categories and many more was clearly the biggest story to come out of this poll, yet Zogby chose to highlight Giuliani's rare success.

There is no doubt that Giuliani beats Paul on name recognition alone, but the fact that the Congressman is surging ahead and gaining momentum, while capturing the sentiment of the nation, was the biggest story to come out of this poll - but Zogby chose to stifle it - proving once again that the self-fulfilling media obsession with relentlessly focusing on establishment approved candidates while marginalizing others only upholds the status quo and hurts the democratic process.

Now don't forget, You will need someone to clean up afterwards. Especially when we are laid up in the lazy chair, flipping through the channels, napping from time to time.
With a polititican around, pandering for votes, That would be a good way to put all that pandering to work. Let them earn their support.

I don't live my life surrounded by losers any more than I have to. Inviting them into my home is not going to happen. I'll clean up myself the day after if I have to. After I sleep off my turkey induced coma.
