4 years ago the race was more fluid than it is today-there was no clear front-runner back then. Romney was trying to be (like he is now), but after Huckster took him out in Iowa things went downhill for Mitt.
Unless Sarah gets in (and that’s a big if), things aren’t likely to change much. With this current field, people are going to coalesce around either Romney or Perry. With conservatives outnumbering moderates around 2-1 and Perry having a big edge in 2 of the first 3 states (Iowa & S.C.), Mitt’s only hope is another first tier conservative like Sarah getting in and taking votes from Perry. If that doesn’t happen, I think the race at this point is definitely Perry’s to lose.
Giuliani, I believe, was leading 4 years ago. Giuliani fell because of personal issues that make him unelectable. You can go back to threads of that day to see what is meant, but the short of it is serial women, drag parades, and general social behavior and policies that rendered him dead in the water as soon as anyone really thought about it.
He was leading because of the sympathetic number of repubs who were thinking of 9/11 rather than of electability.
He remains, however, the single best public speaker in all of US politics. It is a shame he is not a conservative.
