Split the vote -- 1/3 Rudy, 1/3 McCain. 1/3 Thompson - and one of them will win by a whisker, most likely McCain would benefit and end up being the nominee and we would end up with Hillary.

Don't think so, Fred Thompson probably already has seen internal polling of his own, and I think he would take over and lead over G, and M by a good, 20 points.

Rudy might possibly be a VP, (but he probably will not agree to that) but he won't be necessary for a win.

Neither Rudy, or McCains following is that strong.
