Just how inevitable are the frontrunners (Rudy and Hillary) in polls of the two major parties?

inevitable contenders come next November?

Uhhh ... I wouldn't bet on it--not even at high odds today!

The polls showing on the screen this evening were startling to say the least. Obama beating Hillary in Iowa? Huckabee possibly beating Romney in Iowa--and Giuliani only finishing fourth or fifth in Iowa and losing New Hampshire--maybe finishing third behind Romney and either Huckabee or McCain?

Actually, I never thought that a cross-dressing, thrice-married, anti-gun rights but pro-gay rights, pro-abortion, liberal (Giuliani) or a flip-flopping Mormon (Romney) would satisfy most Republicans and sadly, that "woman" thing is even harder for poor Hillary to shake than being black or, like her hubby Bill some years back, being a philanderer.

Whew!

If only we could turn the clock back a bit ... like maybe a decade or so!


Myself? I'd like to see an African American with a middle name of "Hussein" running against a Baptist preacher who plays a mean bass guitar next November myself. How would that be for an improbable event?
