Hillary is Canada's Choice for US President

TORONTO, June 25 /CNW/Telbec - If Canadians could choose the next US President,
it would be Hillary Clinton by a landslide, according to a new poll released
today.

Almost four in ten Canadians want Senator Clinton as the next US
president. A new poll conducted by The Strategic Counsel on behalf of The
Globe and Mail and CTV News shows Hillary Clinton is the strong favorite among
Canadians who give the New York senator a three-to-one lead over Rudy Giuliani
(12%), the next most popular candidate among respondents. 11% would vote for
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton's closest rival for the Democratic nomination.

"Clearly the Clinton brand continues to hold a lot of luster in Canada,"
says Tim Woolstencroft, Managing Partner of The Strategic Counsel. "Bill
Clinton has always enjoyed tremendous popularity here, and that critical mass
of positive sentiment has given Hillary's campaign a big boost. She's a strong
candidate in her own right, but it's an even stronger franchise. A lot of
Canadians would like to see another Clinton White House."

Canadian support for Hillary Clinton cuts across age, education level,
and even political affiliation. "She's as popular among Canadian Conservatives
as she is among Canadian Liberals," says Woolstencroft, "and I think that says
something about the kind of broad, personal appeal that the Clintons have
managed to secure here in Canada."

Hillary Clinton enjoys strongest support among Quebeckers (51%),
Francophone Canadians (52%) and, overwhelmingly, Bloc Quebecois voters (67%)

1. Well then it is safe to say none of her opponents will enter the Canadian primaries....

[William769]

2. It's funny how the Clinton are loved the world over, but not as much in America.

Boy thats saying a lot!

[Tellurian]

4. Exactly- even during the IP..

We were the laughing stock of the World, because none of the other countries care one way or another what their leaders do in their private lives.

[churchofreality]

9. Not as much in America????

I'd say 75% love Bill, and by the time Hillary finishes her first term, 75% will ove her as well.

[ddeclue]

23. Hillary will never have a first term

and according to a recent Rassmussen poll 46% of the country will never vote for her under any circumstance so she has NO chance of winning. The only "never vote" candidate that was higher was Newt Gingrich. She's an unelectable lightning rod just like Newt.

Doug D.

[William769]

25. Other polls say other wise.

But hey hold on to that if you want to.

[zulchzulu]

3. She would do well in Punjab as well...

She said she could '"certainly run for the Senate seat in Punjab and win easily."

The Canadians probably like her because her campaign outsourced the campaign song that they are familiar with...the same one used on some insurance company or whatever by Miss Celine.

[William769]

5. Well since America is the melting pot of the world...

Glad you finally see the light! :rofl:

[Tellurian]

6. Thanks to Obama's overreach..

The Indians will double their support for Hillary here, where and when it counts.

[zulchzulu]

15. The Clintons will get plenty of money from those they helped do outsourcing

I'd call that dirty money, but yunno...

[Tellurian]

19. How does it compare to Rezko's dirty money?

link

[zulchzulu]

26. You want to open up a Clinton can of worms 10 miles high?

We can do that.

The Rezko story is a red herring. As the article you pointed out says, there is utterly no proof that Obama did ANY favors for Rezko. The guy was his next door neighbor...they sold property to him...big freakin' whoop.

If you'd like to debunk what was in the outsourcing memo, that might be interesting. The Clinton Team is trying to avoid those issues like the Plague...and guess what... it's only the top of the first inning on that little puppy.

Rezko's story is a moth compared the complicity the Clintons have with profiting from outsourcing. We're talking about a LOT of money.

Need some more sand to hide your head in?

[HughBeaumont]

28. It's almost like they're . . . Republicans?

:blush:

No offshoring supporters or facilitators for president.

[William769]

30. Strange how all Obama supporters are staying away from this like the plague.

Clinton has been vetted over and over and over... Obama is just started and it ain't pretty.

[zulchzulu]

38. Media Matters SKEWERS the Obama-Rezko "story"

http://mediamatters.org/items/200706140007

Read it and weep, desperado...

[William769]

42. Doesnt' address the whole story bucko.

Nice try though.

ON EDIT: Funny this is if Obama has nothing to hide why is he avoiding the media?

[zulchzulu]

45. It certainly addresses the DISTORTIONS being used by some

We can play "land and property deals" if ya want. A LOT of incoming to the Clinton Camp on that little subject.

Obama avoiding the media? Maybe you need to turn on your TV...

[William769]

46. Did you watch the video in the link?

Yes he was avoiding the media like the plague. And the Video barely touched on the land deal, it's the whole other mess he's in.

[zulchzulu]

48. Did you read how Media Matters skewered the video allegations?

Maybe you don't have a basic understanding of what Media Matters does...

:crazy:

[William769]

51. I take that as a no then.

[wyldwolf]

7. by the way, that Obama screw-up cost him $2 million

http://newspostindia.com/report-4769

[Tellurian]

13. meow....purrrrr...

:toast:

[zulchzulu]

14. Funny, that's about how much Senator Clinton made off outsourcing...

:crazy:

[zulchzulu]

16. I'm guessing that pharma and insurance company money to the campaign is good too...

Yeah, she's getting lots of money alright...

[William769]

17. Yea that money is good.

And if you don't believe it just ask Obama.

[rinsd]

32. Yup no pharma-insurance money for Obama....

http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/select.asp?Ind=H04

http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/select.asp?Ind=F09

[mckeown1128]

34. I'm too lazy to click the link...

is that the controversy over the Punjab comment that probably was added to the anti-hillary by Hillary before she sent it out to the press. Funny Obama never sent it to the press...Hillary did.

[William769]

35. Funny he apologized for something you say he didn't do.

:eyes:

[mckeown1128]

43. The memo probably was his, but Clinton could have...

easily had her staff change a few things (punjab) in order to cripple the Obama campaign. In that case he couldn't admit to some but not all of the memo that Clinton gave to the media... You and other Clintonistas on this site would have flamed Obama to death for selective apology...

[William769]

44. Backpeddling I see.

At least you get credit for trying to spin it.

[mckeown1128]

49. I miss read you... Allow me to clarify...

Obama apologized for the memo... he didn't say that it actually got sent out... Nope.... the media that supposedly got the memo from Obama....all the stories admit that the Hillary Camp gave them their copies....hmmm....what do you have to say about that...

[Totally Committed]

8. Two words: NAME RECOGNITION

But, if they feel strongly enough, they should become American citizens and vote for her.

Ask them. I bet about 0% would agree to that.

TC

[illinoisprogressive]

10. maybe she can move there and run for PM instead.

[Totally Committed]

11. Awesome!

And, she could take the rest of the frigging DLC with her for their Parliament.

TC

[William769]

12. Maybe she will after she has been President of the U.S. for 8 years,

After all when you are the best...

[ddeclue]

22. which means she's never moving to Canada..

because she'll never be President of the United States and she's NOT the best, not even third best...

Doug D.

[William769]

24. The polls beg to differ.

:rofl:

[ddeclue]

29. Wrong...

Rassmussen has Edwards as the only candidate who can beat all Republicans. Hillary doesn't even come close..

Zogby has Hillary's negatives as in "I would never vote for her under any circumstances" at 46% which is the second highest of all potential candidates after Newt Gingrich and which makes her unelectable. You can't win if you immediately write off 46% of the vote. That means you've got to get practically every remaining vote to win. She's an unelectable lightning rod just like Newt.

And Edwards leads where it matters - in Iowa.

Hillary's got nowhere to go but down...her numbers were fixed in concrete years ago and she's a totally known and un-recyclable commodity. Edwards and Obama have headroom to go up however.

Doug D.

[William769]

31. The polls have her in first place and beaing all Republicans.

You just keep thinking that way.

[Kingstree]

18. They probably would have voted for Bush too

[Alamom]

20. NO, I don't think so. ...........they highly disappove of the current prez &

have for several years.

Canadians Vote Bush Least-Liked President
by Shawn McCarthy

OTTAWA — U.S. President George W. Bush is the most unpopular American president in recent memory among Canadians, with more than 60 per cent saying they have an unfavorable opinion of him, according to a new poll by Environics Research Group Ltd.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_perception_of_George_W._Bush



Among the population of Britain, two-thirds of the population holds a dim view of Bush, a figure that is duplicated in Canada.

Bush fares slightly better in Mexico and Italy, where just over half of the population has a negative view, but much worse in other countries.
“Three-quarters of those in Spain and more than 80% in France and Germany had a negative view of Mr. Bush's role in world affairs."
In Turkey, 72% of those polled said that George Bush's re-election made them “feel worse about Americans".

In November 2006, a survey taken in Britain, Mexico, and Canada showed that they believe Bush is more dangerous than the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, and the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

[ddeclue]

21. OK... let her run there and stop screwing up our chances here..

for a Democrat to win in 2008.

Is that why she chose a Celine Deion song for her campaign theme?

Leave it to Hillary to outsource her campaign theme song!

Aren't there any American musicians/composers she could have used?


Geez...

Doug D.
Orlando, FL

[Forkboy]

27. Can't get much more pointless than this.

At least until tomorrow when I'm sure someone will top it.

[Stop Cornyn]

33. Black US citizens residing in Florida don't get to vote for president but Canadians do? That sucks!

[ripple]

36. Given the pm they just elected,

I don't think I would exactly consider this a positive.

[StudentsMustUniteNow]

37. It doesn't matter what Canadians want. It's what Americans want that matters

If she's so popular in Canada, she should run there and leave us the fuck alone.

[Alexander]

39. Good thing Canadians can't vote in our elections.

I mean, they legitimately elected Harper.

At least we have an excuse - Bush stole the election.

[treestar]

41. But when they are voting for us, it looks like they are Democrats!

Maybe we should outsource some of our voters to them!

[Lisa]

47. yes -- in the Gore/Bush matchup in 2000, not even Alberta wanted Bush

And they're our most Texas-like province.

[Brigid]

40. That's cool.

But I wonder if they'll let me move up there if we get stuck with yet another Repug in 2008. :hippie:

[ileus]

50. I can't think of any data point less relevant then what Canada wants for our next president.

[Alamom]

52. If their PM was

an idiot and invading countries, you might understand the relevance. Our idiot has done everything he possibly can to bring the wrath of many countries down on our heads, (literally).

"IF" I lived in Canada, I would like to see someone with a "brain" and someone who can mend friendships around the world. We have an enemy maker in charge. Several, in fact.......

Obviously, our northern neighbors fear B*sh would cause problems for our shared land mass if he could and they feel Hillary will do exactly the opposite.

Makes perfect sense to me.
