If the pendulum swings enough to make people doubt Giuliani's nomination is inevitable and if they believe he’s not the only one to beat Hillary, as has been touted by the media, there is great opportunity for Fred. Recent polls have already shown chinks in Rudy’s armor and I think the a spell is well its way to being broken.

So Rudy’s surviving in the polls due to perceived electability and his foreign policy views...?

I’m hoping the rest of the polls signifies what Republicans/conservatives will do...that is go with whom they think is the more appropriate choice: Fred.
