I'm Feeling Alright

About the prospects of Democrats in my new home state given that both Clinton and Obama would beat Giuliani in a state-wide general election right now. Clinton by 15 points and Obama by 5 points. Although early polls don't necessarily mean that much, it is nice to know that Rudy's megalomaniacal delusions aren't even working in his home state.

Now, granted that I am not positive that Clinton would be the best candidate for the job of President, or even that she would be the best Democrat currently running for the position. On the other hand, I do know that she will be better than race-baiting, police-state advocate Giuliani.

I Don't Think He's Going to Win the Family Values Vote...

Via Jeremy Freese, it doesn't look like Guiliani can even count on the support of his daughter. According to this Slate article, it looks like she is supporting Obama. Can't see that going down well with the "family-values" conservatives; that is, unless they are as flexible on that as they are on crime and punishment.

Speaking of Jeremy Freese, I am looking forward to seeing him talk about Blogs as a Forum for Public Sociology along with Crooked Timber contributor Kieran Healy at the American Sociological Association meetings next week.
