Here’s Rudy Giuliani talking about Barack Obama the other night:
“(H)e’s never run a city, never run a state, never run a business. He’s never had to lead people in crisis.”
Here’s Rudy talking about John McCain during a Republican presidential debate last year:

It says HERE that John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate strengthens the Republican ticket with the party’s base, but Democratic veep nominee Joe Biden fares better than Palin among moderate voters.
There’s much more for political junkies and numbers freaks to ponder in the results of this one-day survey.
POSTSCRIPT: By the way, Palin’s speech on Wednesday night has spurred a BIG INFLUX of cash contributions — to the Obama campaign.
