It’s a straw poll in Iowa, and it really doesn’t look pretty for the left
(Giuliani beats Clinton 56-37; Edwards, 51-43; and Kerry, 53-40. McCain defeats Clinton 54-37; Edwards, 47-46; and Kerry, 53-39.)
The poll also ought to chill the Sunday muffins at Terrace Hill this morning: There are 57 percent of likely Iowa voters who think it’s a bad idea for Vilsack to run for president. Only 26 percent think it’s a good one, and 17 percent aren’t sure.
That’s not exactly a heartwarming send-off for the hometown boy. And that feeling comes through again in the head to heads. Giuliani beats the governor in Iowa 54-38. McCain defeats him 53-38.
OUCH
