“He’s getting cleaned in IA and NH by Mitt, getting cleaned in FL by Rudy,”
Whoa! There are 43 days until the Iowa caucuses. People are just starting to pay attention. Fred is in a statistical tie for second there, and Mitt and Huck’s baggage (soft on crime, sanctuary cites, in Mitt’s case, $50 abortions) is just now starting to come out. You act as if these polls are actually votes! Last time I checked every one of the top 4 candidates (Rudy, Romney, Huckabee and Thompson) had lost an election, except one....the one you and the MSM have written off.
If you think Rudy’s lead in Florida is going to remain after he gets whacked in Iowa, probably New Hampshire and South Carolina, you are way off. This election is very fluid.
Check the polls in mid December. You will get a little better idea of what Iowa really looks like then.
If Mitt hangs on to win Iowa and NH and Fred wins SC, it’ll be a two way race. Rudy’s current lead in Florida won’t mean a thing. Rudy is only polling in the mid to low 30s in Florida. That state is by no means a lock for Rudy once the field starts narrowing.
I certainly hope he fades away before that point, because the MSM that loves Rooty will discount those three states as being either bought by Romney, or in the case of SC, outside of Giuliani's 'base'. They'll run stories of how he's "keeping the faith" so he can stay viable for the blue state primaries. Then, they'll trumpet his successes there into "He's the guy who could take states away from Hillary Clinton." By that point, the Witch's coronation will be a lock, and they will be looking to create a Rudy-Hildebeest catfight to sell newspapers.
I'm certain that's been the strategy of the press all along. Either way it turns out, they get a gun-grabbing, pro-abortion liberal in the White House.
You have no evidence whatsoever that Fred would/could win FL, and certainly not NY, NJ, CT, RI, CA, IL, and many other Super Tuesday states.
