Giuliani people won’t go for Huck or Mitt I wouldn’t think, but who knows. Some might go to McInsane.
While Thompson is in the back of the pack, he is the least likely to shoot a hole in his foot. I just don’t know.
I wouldn’t make that generalization. Some, it is true, are SoLibs, but others jumped on his bandwagon early after drinking the media-driven Kool-Aid that “only Rudy can win.” There are other candidates running with actual military, military policy, and national security experience who would run rings around Rudy in prosecuting the WOT. All of them could beat Hillary (widespread unlikeability) or Obama (green, inexperienced, “let’s invade Pakistan”).
I think most of the Rudy supporters are so called “broken glass” Republicans, who would vote for the Pubbie no matter who it is. From what I have seen so far it appears most of that support has gone to the Huckster, but that could change in a heartbeat when exposure to some of his record sees the light of day.
I would guess Giuliani people are mostly NE’sterners. So I think Romney would benefit.
