I agree that he does lead the polls in those that would
never vote for, but keep track of that word
never. Its deceiving, because it can make a minority look like a majority by using such absolutes so early in the game. Romne is still at the head of the pack with McCain and Rudy, and he also has more money as well.
Also think, if he can get past the primaries, he'll be up against what will be a pretty left of center Democrat. I think some bigotted attitudes would start changing if that happens...

It's too bad because although I would vote for Obama or Edwards

Alright, if anyone can do this, you can: Why would anyone vote for Obama at this stage? He sounds great, but when it comes to substance he has NOTHING, IMO. The Tony Robbins of politics, and I think he'll get eaten alive in the primaries. As for Edwards, I know his politics and they are a little to the left of Lenin, but at least I know where he stands.
But I'd love either of them to get the nomination, because in all honesty thats a guaranteed win for Republicans. Can you see Edwards going against Rudy or Romne and winning? Or Obama beating McCain? Those matchups are bad news for Dems.

Incidentally, how the hell is Hillary Clinton still leading the polls? If it came down to a contest between her and Mitt Romney, even I would hesitate to vote for her. Hopefully something changes before primary season starts because unlike her fellow candidates, Hillary Clinton has no room at all to improve in the general election.

Hillary is an election monster. By the end of the primaries all her opponents are going to be bleeding in a corner somewhere babbling to themselves. She is brutal, underhanded and takes no prisoners. Hell, I even think she has Al Sharpton in here back pocket.
