The headline is "FOX News Poll: Voters Most Comfortable With Rudy Giuliani as President," but I think Fox buries the lede:

When voters are asked to name which candidate would be toughest on terrorism, Clinton (16 percent) edges Giuliani (15 percent) and McCain (15 percent) for the top spot....

Wow.

Also, 53 percent say they would be "comfortable" with a Hillary Clinton presidency. (Haven't Dick Morris, Joe Klein, Chris Matthews, Don Imus, and Mickey Kaus been telling us that number is zero?) And:

Overall, when looking at just those saying they would be "extremely" comfortable, it is Clinton who tops the list with 12 percent compared to 8 percent for Giuliani, 6 percent McCain, 6 percent Obama, 4 percent Edwards and 1 percent Romney.

As I've said before, I have very mixed feelings about Hillary. But I'm sick of hearing that she makes everyone's skin crawl. She doesn't. That's an allergic reaction felt by a minority of Americans, and those people should consider seeking professional help.
