Two words: Fred Thompson.
This week, his schedule has no public events at all, limiting his appearances to fund-raisers in Florida, Tennessee and Texas.

I’m with you but I’d like a little more action.
EXACTLY!!! Without Fred in the race Rudy probably would have been silent
Agree 100%......
Giuliani had to shell out $64,575 for an ad in The New York Times----Rooty "said" the ad was paid for by "contributions" to his presidential campaign.
ROTFLMSO. "Campaign contributions?" Now I've heard everything.
Rooty is a four-carat phony. Giuliani purportedly earns one million a month----he needs campaign contributions to run ads like he needs a hole in the head.
Now, who wants to hazard a guess as to which offshore account Rooty's ad money was transferred from?
Giuliani companies (that we know of) include:
(1) Giuliani Capital Advisors, LLC (AKA Giuliani Partners LLC),
(2) Giuliani Group,
(3) Giuliani-Kerik (re-named Giuliani Security and Safety, after the departure of the tainted ex-Police Commissioner),
(4) Giuliani-Van Essen,
(5) Bracewell & Giuliani LLP law firm (based in Texas with global interests), and,
(6) Giuliani Security & Safety, Asia
Was the ad money from Bracewell & Giuliani's January closings from accounts in Almaty, Kazakhstan (in the Crimea), totalling $1.625 Billion in billings.
Was the ad money from Bracewell & Giuliani's Cintra account? Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a Spanish transportation company (lobbied for Privatization of Toll Road in Texas)
Was the ad money from Bracewell & Giuliani's Banco Santander Central Hispano, S.A. (SAN.MC, STD.N) (a bank that traded with a blacklisted Iranian Bank)
Was the ad money from the company account tied to Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chávez, who has called President Bush "the devil." Bracewell & Giuliani lobbies on behalf of Texas-based Citgo Petroleum, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Venezuelan oil company controlled by Chávez.
Sweet Jesus, there's so, many many ways money can travel over the bounding waves to campaign accounts.
I think FDT is Hillary's dream opponent.
He minimizes her weaknesses (that she's old and tired, because he's older and tireder) and he has a courtly manner which will either inhibit him from kicking her sorry ass OR will take him out of character.
We'll see. Fred stepped in it with his drilling for oil in FL gaffe. I keep waiting for him to kick ass and take names. I'm still waiting . . .
