“Umm, honesty? For Fred to ONLY have a 19 point lead over a northeasterner in Georgia is pretty sad.”
Maybe you don’t understand the South very well. And it’s still an eight man field. 41% of the vote is scattered among the others and undecided. 39% to 20% is a huge lead, twice the support of Giuliani. Can you show us states where Giuliani doubles the support of the #2.
“So I keep asking, where will Fred get his delegates?”
People also need to start asking: Where will Rudy get his electoral votes in November of 2008 if he’s the nominee. The fantasy of all these blue states he’ll win is more likely to be a reality of all the close red states he stands to lose.
However---and this should really concern you---in most of these states, including OH, NM, and even many deep red states like KA and NC, Rudy does much better than Fred vs. Hillary. He's better in OH, FL, NM, WI, and WA, while pretty close to what Fred pulls vs. Hillary in NC, KS, and VA. The only state where Rudy does not poll as well as Fred vs. Hillary is KY. Well, I'll take OH, FL, NM in a tradeoff vs. KY any day.
And don't give me this "don't understand the south." I lived there for many years, playing a circuit from NO to Pascagoula to Baton Rouge to Tampa. What perhaps you don't understand is that the south is changing and isn't nearly as "red" as it used to be, esp. in FL, VA, and NC.
