Jeff: You've hit the nail on the head. Neither one of these two would be pulling out if they thought they were going to get the results they want.

McCain is probably the more interesting. After Rudy pulled out, he should have looked at the situation as an opportunity to pick up some Rudy votes.

He must see the situation so dire, there's no hope. This illegal immigration mess this week may have helped push him over the edge. He's toast.

On the good side--Iowans again did their job of winnowing the field. We just didn't get to the Straw Poll. The rest of the country can thank us.

Great to hear from you CGG! It’s been a while.

I’m glad you’re glad that Mitt’s got Rudy and John “on the ropes”. Despite what people say about the advanced primary, Iowa continues to be the most important state in shaping the field and course of the election.
