Due to that, it's hard to say with much confidence what Thompson's chances are against Hillary. On the one hand, Thompson could be the perfect rival for Hillary, since it could really mobilize the base against Hillary and in favor of a "true conservative." On the other hand, a lot of the independents I talk to on my <a href="http://www.politicsforumpoliticalworld.com/" rel="nofollow">political forum</a> say they are looking for a uniter, and Guiliani has a much better chance of picking up voters like that than Thompson does. So that's probably how a lot of "purple" voters are leaning as well. We'll have to wait and see how conservatives reach to Thompson throughout September.

Quinnipiac put out this too:

pennsylvania:
clinton vs.
giuliani -2
mccain -6
thompson -14

Pennsylvania (which we lost in ’00 and 04) MAY be winnable this year. Although I don’t trust Romney’s ability to climb that hurdle. But a PA win would essentially offset a Florida loss in 08.
