Likely Voters. Sigh.

If the election were held now, Rudy Giuliani appears to have the support of the greatest number of respondents of both parties, with 56% indicating they would "definitely" or "probably" support him — followed by Hillary Clinton (51%) John McCain (50%) and Barack Obama (50%).

Sorry but what the hell?
Why does Giuliani have such strong support? Because of his demeanor during the 9/11 attack in NYC?
The people polled astound me. They support Clinton over Obama because they don't know enough about where he stands. But Giuliani over everyone even thought they know only one thing about him. Heh.
God help us.

WASHINGTON — Every American should have health care coverage within six years, Democratic Sen. Barack Obama said Thursday as he set an ambitious goal soon after jumping into the 2008 presidential race.

“I am absolutely determined that by the end of the first term of the next president, we should have universal health care in this country,” Obama told a conference of Families USA, a health care advocacy group.

Be very interesting to see where this goes and what his ideas to accomplish it are.
