I've long believed, and continue to believe, that Rudy's success as a candidate relied on fear of the Hildebeest. As long as the Hildebeest looked inevitable, Rudy was inevitable too. When the Hildebeest's campaign started to stumble, it broke her aura of inevitability, and it broke Rudy's too, and that's why he's tanked so badly. Hillary's weakness as a candidate and the challenge from Obama pretty much ruined it for Rudy, not to mention his campaign pretty much assumed the primary would be a breeze.

Before there was Fred!, Rudy/Newt was my ticket of choice. I flirted with Fred! for a while, but when people are so into a candidate, I figure they're into who they think he is instead of who he really is.
Alas and alack, I'm about out of choices. I do have a deal with a friend to write her in if she writes me in if there are no conservatives in the race.
And there aren't anymore. (No, I'm not saying Benito is a conservative, but neither are any of those still in the race, unless you define conservative as "against abortion").

I wonder how much the early voting will play into these numbers.
Re: beating Hillary - that is still being touted now, but they are just substituting McCain's name. Republicans shouldn't be voting based on that assumption. That shows fear. We have no fear, we win on our ideals. Boorah!

You can't trust anybody on the interwebs these days.
