Poll question: Does the Rudy vs. Hillary battle help or hurt her?

I'm wondering what effect does this pre-nomination war between Rudy and Hillary might have in the actual nomination process.

1. Giuliani can get much nastier than Hillary.

Nothing will be off the table. He doesn't have that big sleazy smile for nothing.

3. I'm kinda po'd that Rudy keeps personalizing issues to hit Hillary.

He conflated her name and the MoveOn ad to attack her.

5. I don't think it will hurt her,

but I wish the rest of the Democrats would come out and support her right now. She was doing her job as a senator, and what she said had nothing to do with Move On's ad. We need party unity on this, because everyone single one of them is going to come under attack for that ad whether they agree with it or not.

7. It keeps Hillary in the new spotlight, and that's good for her!

Let Rudy get as nasty as he wants, he'll just piss off the public by doing so.

9. Not yet, but for the media, the battle is on. Perception is what I'm focusing on.

10. Rudy .... Rudy Giuliani has indeed more garbage than Hillary

All 'two=bit pussy hounds' act this way. Hillary won't respond because everyone knows this is pure shit.

11. Just shows that rudi is a bunch of crap

because Moveon panned Betrayed us rudi wants to blame Hillary. It is a shame that everybody doesn't have access to the media the way the republicans do, so they can rant and rave against republicans.

12. I think Clinton could fight dogs and still have her supporters.

Her supporters are tried and true no matter what. Its like the Patriots getting caught cheating, they wont lose one fan. Thats how most seem to look at politicians nowadays, we don't really look into what all the candidates stand for, we find one we like and fight and defend it until the end. Look how many votes Bush got and their were people out supporting him back in the day, it just took them countless deaths to realize who he was. I don't know what it would take for Clinton supporters, they are pretty dedicated.

15. Rudy has given Hillary a great opportunity to demonstrate her prowess..

as the strongest candidate in the field. Her talent lies in turning attacks into polling points. Rudy is not long for this world; one more attack from him and his percentages will plummet into the toilet. Hillary can BRING IT 24/7...
