Somewhat flawed argument...he didn’t really run in Iowa, and barely in NH.
Actually, Rudy did run in New Hampshire, and had to pull out when he realized he wasn’t getting any traction. Rudy is still ahead in Florida at this moment.
Amazing but true.
“I would rather win with McCain then lose with Thompson or Romney.”
Electing McCain is no win for any of us.
Very true. He most certainly DID run in NH--after all, he made 40 trips there,,,and spent $5 million,,,until realizing that he was wasting his time and money--and then decided to pull out.
I would love to see Rudy as Secretary of State. He has a great handle on what’s going on in the Middle East.

Big Cat Rudy Giuliani
Good news for us, unless their second choice wins.
Dressed up as the Lion King-——maybe he wants to scare the undecided into voting for him? /sarc
Giuliani is aggressively phoning those most likely to use absentee ballots - the elderly, the infirm and military personnel overseas. More than 204,000 GOP absentee ballots have already been requested, state figures show. That's nearly double the 118,696 total GOP votes cast in the recent Iowa caucus.
In more than eight months of campaigning, Giuliani has set up only four campaign offices across a massive state of 18 million people. By contrast, in tiny New Hampshire - population 1.3 million, about the same number of residents as in the Florida Panhandle alone - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's team had 16 offices.
Until this week, Giuliani's operation has relied almost entirely on media ads and phone calls, the two most effective campaign tools in Florida. Tomorrow, registered Republicans can begin going down to their local precincts and casting primary votes.

Rudolph looks like he is waiting for all the other GOPers to drop out one by one leaving him in the final two. But Rudolph if you were the winner, you won’t get my vote.
I’m surprised it took him this long to implode. Had there been a more conservative stronger field of candidates, he would have enjoyed the success of Arlen Specter from the beginning.
Same here Farmer and I'm in L.A.

J. Edgar Hoover supposedly did the same thing.
and the polls are always right... Right?
They’re right MUCH MORE than they are wrong,,,and the RCP aggregation is the best around when it comes to ‘snap shots’ in time!!!
Unless he wins Florida.
After which he is president.
“If he wins Florida, he’ll be president.”
Nonsense. Skipping a bunch of primaries then selectively trying in one state is not the way to get a majority of delegates ...
We’ve now had Romney, Huckabee and McCain each win a state and we have seen Rudy do miserably, getting in single digits. Let us suppose Rudy wins FL. It only means a split decision on early states.
This makes a brokered convention more likely.
Which is true.
Unless he wins Florida. Then its brilliant. Especially when there isn't ONE individual frontrunner BEFORE Florida.
My point is that even winning Florida doesnt make Rudy a frontrunner, just one of several candidates who each have a state win under their belts.
