Giuliani’s campaign advisers are fools. They thought Giuliani could use his 9-11 hero status to launch him to the nomination without any retail politics. It turns out that there are no “bye” weeks in the political playoffs. The lesson to be learned here is that you have to show up to play in order to win. For that, I will give Mitt Romney credit for.

Rudy appears to dislike campaigning although he thrives well when holding office. Although he admits it his pro-abortion stance hurts him. He needed to campaign vigorously outside of Florida. He may be a good choice for VP IMHO.

I am sure all future candidates are learning this message, and it will turn Iowa and New Hampshire into bigger donnybrooks in future campaigns. It also further raises the stakes in the ugly state against state fight over "who goes first" and, to add insult to injury, will get candidates campaigning earlier and earlier and earlier....
