Either Rudy is going to end up as one smart cookie, or his reputation is going to be in tatters. No honorable exit if he loses. I guess the fact that Fred Thompson hasn’t taken off is going to help him in Florida. Still, a big gamble…

Rudy is “all in” with this strategy. There is alot of campaign left and the race is wide open.

He certainly has nothing to lose, but I can’t honestly believe he has a fighting chance or for that matter “any republican” at winning against the Democrats. America is sick of the republican mindset, is sick of lies. Personally, I think the one to watch is Edwards. Just wait for the come from behind. He’s already made that obvious by yesterdays numbers.

Beth,
John Edwards is done.
The “real” race will be in the large states (like with Rudy)between Hillary and Obama.
Watch HC’s national poll numbers. If they crater she may be done.
However, Obama would be easier to beat than HC in the general.
