It seems like the religious right is slowly warming up to Romney. Personally, I think they made a big mistake by waiting as long as they did to make that shift. It may be too late. I think Giuliani is close to having it wrapped up.
Well, anything’s possible but, I doubt it. My impression of Giuliani’s support is that it is soft. I have seen polling that says otherwise but I doubt that very much. Giuliani’s lead, to this point, is primarily due to his name recognition and the leadership he showed on 9/11. Plus the fact that in the debates, he’s been feisty and likable. That said, as has been seen in the early primary states, as people get to know Mitt Romney, they tend to support him. Romney’s numbers have been rising slowly but surely while Mr. Giuliani’s have been static for the most part. We’ll see. But I do think that Romney is well positioned to jump past Mr. Giuliani if he wins in NH and IA.
I don’t think Guiliani has anything wrapped up. We are only in the top of the first.
No way. The Red Sox debacle is a fatal one. Remember how he criticized Hillary for rooting for both the Mets and Yankees in 2000? How is this any different? In fact, it is WORSE.

Rudy can only wrap it up if he wins in NH.
It’s still a wide open race.
But you are right in one thing - conservative dithering and split decisions among them to pick Thompson, Huckabee, Romney and others has given Rudy the opening to win.
