Polls disagree with your analysis. Romney, McCain and Rudy are tied for first.
Huckabee is well behind.
Huckabee will fade further and the battle will center between Romney and McCain. McCain will get an SC bounce, but so will Romney as the other candidates fall by the wayside.
Thompson is out. Huck is toast. Rudy had Florida to himself but not for long. Jeb Bush is behind Romney, while the Cuban proamnesty politicians are helping McCain.
Romney IMHO will pull it off, and if not will be #2. Rudy #3 and Huck #4.
I certainly hope so.
I do think Rudy will finish in the top two
Personally, I'm for Fred, but as he continues to finish weak third and fourth, that pretty much leaves me with Romney, who I think is competent, though I do dislike his forced Mittcare in Mass.
I guess if I wanted a perfect candidate I would run. I would get a least one vote : )
