The race is between Rudy and the rest of the Republican party. Rudy will never get enough delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot. It will be a brokered convention, which weighs in favor of Thompson more than Romney. Hewitt underestimates Thompson’s strength in the South, the Rep national power base.
