It's still early, focus on the 2008 election will not be strong until the November 2007 local elections. There's no sense in Fred Thompson, or any other Republican trying to deliver the death blow to Rudy until then.

The way I see it, Mitt finishes Rudy's "the one who can beat Hillary" with a clear win in Iowa, and a squeaker in New Hampshire. Fred will top Rudy in both places, then will finish him off in the rest of the states, especially the Southern ones. Rudy's been counting on winning NY and CA, but the liberals will be too focused on the Clinton-Obama race to make trouble for us. He could win those two states, but not by much.

No, the way I see it now is that the Mitt bashers will get to Mitt first, and clear the way for Rudy’s coronation.
