You got it.
I've been reading on this board for several years now that Rudy can't win in the South. Yet for the third election cycle, he is campaigning aggressively for southern GOP candidates and is being met with enthusiastic crowds. His IUO list continues to grow.
He'll cash them in 2008, when he will be the GOP candidate who will win in the South and pick off blue states like NY, NJ and Penn.
Senator Goldwater,
First, I would like to congratulate you for fighting so hard in 1964 without a blogosphere to watch your back. ;-)
About your IOU comment: this is a brilliant observation. If Rudi campaigns for southern GOP politicians in 2006...he gets to cash his chips in bigtime in 2007 and 2008.
