It doesn't. The media is just enjoying the moment.
Their thinking is that the GOP won't pick Rudy. Fred's sinking. Mitt's cooked (they think, I don't). And Huckabee's a one state wonder (well, maybe two).
MediaCrats will do all they can to float McCain, but I still don't think Republicans would run him against Obama. I predict a slug fest between Rudy and Mitt.
I do too, with Huckster slipped in as Rootys running mate to please the evangelicals, at least, they think.
Thought makes me hurl.
