the Long Island congressman says he'll now be lining up other House members for Giuliani.

Right in line with John Fund's assessment that "Rudy is surrounded by little more than an insular New York crowd."

Rudy is weak on national security (just look at his statements about protecting our borders and amnesty and recommending Kerik); he is against traditional marriage; his stand on gun; he failed to handle the Russian Mafia in New York. No surprise if he will have another messy divorce.

In the last election he could have dashed her hopes for the White House. Instead, he appeared too scared to run against her.

Hillary, with the help of the MSM, will beat him. Rudy has too much baggage. The liberals are going to vote for her while many others simply won't care enough to bother to vote since their positions on many issues are similar (his words).

Your point's correct, on the facts -- but not the characterization.

All I've seen is widening support and endorsements for Mr. Giuliani. Even Hailey Barbour, the popular governor of Mississippi, has spoken well of Mr. Giuliani.

Bill Simon the former California Republican gubernatorial nominee considered to be the conservative alternative to Schwarzenegger in the California primary, just joined Mr. Giuliani as Director of policy.

I have read where Mr. Giuliani has even been gaining support among conservative christians.

I don't think the term insular applies. Every candidate surrounds himself with friends and supporters from back home, people who know him best.
