Rudy McRomney is toast, but even toast takes a few minutes to realize it's toasted.

Don't kid yourself. Rudy, Romney, and McCain are all going to be there in the primaries. The question is whether Fred will. I think he will, but so far, each candidate has shown a pretty strong "bottom," at about mid-20s. Rudy has gotten up to the high 30s, Romney to the high 20s.

Fred will pull mostly from Rudy. What happens to McClame when he can't ever get above 20%? Where do his voters go? Too early to say. But it's silly to write off Rudy.

My bets are still on Romney. I don’t think Guliani really has a chance. Nor does Thompson. I think that voters will be turned off by his (Thompson’s) wife - there’s something tacky looking about her - maybe a little rough around the edges (??) Also, when I heard Thompson on Hannity, I didn’t think he looked well at all. His speech was slow and hesitant and he stuttered. We don’t need another Bush in the WH.
