“Agree...... Hope all remember that as it narrows down to the final nominee and get behind him in an effort to win this thing.”
Yep, but I do have to say that I will vote 3rd party if it’s Rudy, but it won’t be. Rudy is going down in the polls, and as folks start paying attention, Rudy will be gone.
Giuliani will be there for a while I think but he’s no sure winner. I think Giuliani, McCain, Romney and Thompson the non-candidate will be the ones still fighting for the vote come Jan. 08. Of those four I think McCain may well be the first to drop because the funds appear to be drying up for him.
Iowa and NH may not be that important this cycle with the Feb. 5th super Tuesday vote coming so quickly after them. This will make the importance of money and state by state organization much more important this cycle. I just don’t see any of the less funded and 2nd tier candidates being viable come Feb. 5. I’d guess some if not most will drop out along the way prior to the actual primary voting start.
The only exception to all that with regards to less funded/2nd tier ranking is Paul. I think he’ll be in it until the bitter end [much like Keyes in 00] as he is operating on a shoe string type budget and will use his network of LP types to carry him through.
Just curious...... Assuming for the moment that Hunter is not going to be around for the primary votes which candidate do you think he’ll support if anyone. My guess is that he’d come closer to supporting the non candidate Thompson than any of the other top tier candidates. I don’t see him going 3rd party but could easily understand him being silent if it was a Giuliani nomination.
