I was anticipating this instance. The man had been terribly ill with cancer, which is nothing to subject to severe stress. A presidential campaign has that in spades.
So, if Rudy backs out, that leaves Romney, Huckabee, McCain - if Fred Thompson sticks with this, do you think he’ll move up in the southern states?
Good riddance to a bad GOP candidate!
Or better yet,
Good riddance to a good Dem candidate!
Mr. Ruffini dismisses social conservatives much too quickly.
Positioning so that he has an excuse, if and when he gets whomped, I assume.
Rudy didn’t run hard in the hard places like Iowa. He fell off the radar. He needed to run hard early.
Rudys support for”
illegals,
amnesty,
gun control,

Rudy is not a Republican, Rudy is a Republican of convenience better known as a RINO.
That is why Rudy is not going to win.
Conservatives FINALLY started to realize how out-of-touch with the traditional base a LIBERAL with a 'train-wreck' of a personal life--like Giuliani--really was!!!
Spock: "He's dead Jim."
McCoy: "Worse than that you long-eared, inhuman hobgoblin... HIS BRAIN IS GONE!"
With Rudy having to make a trip to the hospital, it sounds like the stress of campaigning is affecting his health (which is not a good thing for a Presidential hopeful) - or that maybe he is setting the scene to use a health issue to drop out of the race while he still has some dignity.
I think the story coming out about New York taxpayers footing the bill for his mistress’s security and chauffering - was the final nail in his coffin.
The most patriotic thing he could do now is to drop out of the race.
It’s a long way to the top if you want to rocknroll.
Rudy never had a chance. He is just too far Left and out of step from where most of the GOP base is. This shouldn’t come as a surprise.
Nothing ‘went wrong’. Guiliani’s track record has been examined, and found lacking.
Its not earth shattering news, its historical record.
The only thing surprising is the Guiliani supporters appear to have convinced themselves nobody would ‘look’ at his track record prior to 9/11, and if they did it would begin and end with his positive results related to crime in NYC.
What went wrong?
America is never going to elect a short balding guy who speaks with a lisp.
Abortion. Adultery. Aimless liberal pandering.
He should be smart enough to figure this out...
