Dear Rudy: please stop running for higher offices now, if you don’t mind. You know inside that your heart’s not really in it, you just like getting the attention and adulation of being “America’s mayor”. Your heart’s in New York City, and you don’t really want to be anywhere else.

It's both.

Ironically, the Drive-Bys pushed Rudy as our nominee for so long and now they push him out his plane door...at 30K feet.

I know I’m happy to hear that Rudy is considering jumping out. I kinda figured this would happen with his poor showing thus far in polls in Florida.

The title is a TOTAL LIE, not merely misleading. He said NOTHING of the kind.

"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."

He then went on to predict he would win. And his spokeswoman, Maria Comella, said later he was speaking with confidence."

Larry Flynt is deeply saddened? I just always wondered about that Flynt comment. Someone mentioned in the thread title seemingly went in hiding the day after Flynt made his threat.

The latter. Never thought I'd be sorry to see him go, but he looks pretty acceptable standing next to McCain and Huckabee.

Great, now the only Republican capable of defeating Hillary is going to go down in flames. At least he is a known quantity, unlike Romney, and would play ball with Republicans, unlike McCain.

He always planned to start his campaign in Florida. I think even he can see his strategy was all wrong.

I fear we're looking at a McCain nomination. Neither he nor Mitt inspire me with an eye towards November. I hope the Dems run Obama rather than Hillary.

Saw Rudy on Fox this am. He looked depressed. His handlers ought to put him on a suicide watch.

Funny how they print these "dropping out stories" before election day. Same crap they pulled with Fred Thompson. It would not surprise me in the least if the source, far from being Rudy himself, was a Romney staffer.

I know people from Massachusetts; they are warning us that Romney projects a squeaky clean image, but he is totally untrustworthy. Those who swallow the "he's the only conservative left" line either don't know what a conservative is, think someone becomes a conservative in an overnight conversion, or are just fooling yourselves.

Look, I intend to vote for Fred Thompson - I won't vote for a Democrat in a Republican label - but if you are looking for the last conservative, do not overlook Giuliani. While it is true that he is NOT a social conservative, he is right - and experienced - on everything else. True, he too changed positions on RKBA and amnesty - but the difference between Rudy and Mittens is that Mittens is pandering to us on everything, and will switch back to his leftist tendencies in the general election when he wants demonrat and independent support.

Guiliani is honest enough to say he is a social liberal - if he won't pander on abortion, he just may be honest when he says he has changed his mind on sanctuary cities. His record as US attorney shows he wants judges who obey rather than make the law, so we are safer depending on him to nominate people for SCOTUS, then counting on Romney remembering if he is for or against us on the day he sends a name to Congress.

My opinion - the LA Times looked at what is left of our field, and is trying to kill votes for the only near-conservative left. We need to prevent any Lib from getting our nomination; our only hope is an open convention where at least we can't do worse than what is left. Whatever you do, whether it is vote for Fred Thompson to let the RNC know we don't want the RINO garbage we are offered election after election, or not - do not swallow the Romney Kool-aid.

I fully expected him (not that I WANTED him, but I expected him) to do better in NH.

If he can’t cut it in the NE, he’s toast everywhere else.

The only candidate who can beat Hillary might drop out? Well, now we have a new only candidate who can beat Hillary, John McCain.

Romney has always been the best candidate.

Good because we don’t want... for the presidency at least. That said, he’d make a fabulous head of homeland security.

An admission that the US elections are rigged...

The same crowd that pushed Julie-Annie early rigged the vote for McCain... Soros...
