Rudy Giuliani appears to be pondering an end to his long pursuit of the Republican presidential nomination.
In a meeting in the back of his chartered plane en route to St. Petersburg, Fla., a short while ago, the onetime, longtime GOP front-runner told a small group of reporters, including The Times' Louise Roug: "The winner of Florida will win the nomination."

An LA Times hit job, or the end of the road for Rudy?

It’s probably true. I hope.

Rudy rolled the dice, hoping for a big win in Florida without spending much time anywhere else. Needless to say, this strategy didn’t exactly work.

Next time Rudy’s at the White House, it will be as an invited guest, not a resident.

Maybe he can run against Hillary in 2012 (FOR SENATOR OF NY).
To: El Sordo; .cnI redruM
It would make absolutely zero sense for Giuliani to be hinting at dropping out at this point. He’s in it until the polls close in Florida.

I doubt he’s going to talk about dropping out on the eve of the first primary in a state he’s actually be campaigning hard in.
If Rudy is going to remain in the race though, he has to have a decent showing in FL or Super Tues... if not he won’t be able to build any sort of momentum to win going forward.
To: Clemenza
Or as an AG, or the head of DHS. But definitely not as POTUS or V-POTUS.

If it's true, I wonder which candidate he'll support?
I hope it's true, but coming from the LA Times I'll wait until it actually happens before I celebrate.

Exactly, this is just a hit Job.
To: Eric in the Ozarks
Basicially it amounted to wagging a middle finger at the "little states" which doesn't look too good to flyover country.
That and the fact that the base of his support was old Republican ladies who dumped him as soon as the news of his dalliances with Judi while she was his mistriss came out. Same thing happenned to Gov. Nelly Rock in '64.

I hope he does drop out. I think a resourceful president could find a good position in the administration for Rudy, but I sure don’t want him as president. He does have experience and leadership skills that could be beneficial in the right position.

An LA Times hit job, or the end of the road for Rudy? My bet is he'll throw his support to McCain. It's their masters desire.

Maybe he can run against Hillary in 2012 (FOR SENATOR OF NY). If Hillary loses in '08, will she hang around the Senate that long, or cut-n-run?

Yes, they weren’t exactly journalistic paragons during the CA recall election either...
