The latest Mason-Dixon poll has the top tier Republican presidential candidates beating Hillary Clinton in the Florida general ection.
Giuliani - 50
Clinton - 43
Romney - 46
Clinton - 45
Thompson - 48
Clinton - 44
The poll shows one in five voters will not vote for a Democrat because of the candidate boycott and the DNC stripping Florida of delegates. Ouch.

There's a substantial difference between these two statements:
From The Buzz: "About one in five voters said they would be less likely to vote Democrat because the of DNC penalties and candidate boycott over Florida's early primary."
Your post: "The poll shows one in five voters will not vote for a Democrat because of the candidate boycott and the DNC stripping Florida of delegates."
Assuming The Buzz is accurate, they're saying that 1 in 5 -- when the idea is presented to them -- might see the Democratic Party in a less favorable light.
If candidates are strong enough, distinguish themselves from their opposition, and connect with voters, party affiliations mean a lot less.
My feeling on the "less" likely business is that these are voters who were not going to vote Dem anyway. Hard for them to really be less likely.
My real problem is that the poll shows Guiliani beating Clinton here and her very high negatives.
If Clinton can't win Florida, Florida primary voters should be looking for a candidate who can.
