The Republicans can't even get good news from Alabama.
According to a Rasmussen Poll listed in Talking Points Memo, Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson are ahead of Hillary by 53-36 in Alabama.
That sounds like a safe margin.
But, George Bush beat John Kerry by 63 to 37 in Alabama in 2004. As a result, Giuliani and Thompson are ten points behind Bush's 2004 margin.
Perhaps the Republican nominee will clean up the whole 11% undecided vote. But he'll still be starting more than 10 points behind where Bush finished.

What is it with the Left and polls. Neither party has even selected their candidates, and here is Caric trumpeting a poll in Alabama.
FWIW - The difference between the margins is not 10% or even 11%. It is 9%. Winning by 17% or 26% is hardly something to lose sleep over.
Unless one were to be just that giddy at the prospect of an as yet unidentified candidate losing to another as yet unidentified candidate in Alabama by only 17 percent that they couldn't sleep.... though on reflection that's less a comment on worth than an indication that one is long overdue to adjust dosages.
Professor Caric, make sure read Glen today. He pulls this fascinating pdf from the Texas Republican Party platform, whereby they request the Congress to overturn Lawrence v Texas, prohibit gays from adopting, and even lose custody of their children in divorce for the CRIME of homosexuality.
Let's just remember who is for the gheys as JD likes to say.
Democrats are on the way back!! 'bout time!!
Yup, todd, only losing by 17% of the vote sure is progress. Call them racist uneducated warmongers a little more, and maybe you can get that back up to 26%.
