Will Giuliani's Feb 5 + Florida strategy work?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

He's screwed himself into a corner.

It's too late to move for IA, and his pulling resources OUT of the NH!

If I were his campaign manager, I'd have him fitted with a shock collar, everytime he leaves NH he gets 25,000 V.

This is where his ball game is. McCain is sucking up his people in NH and FL. As I said in another thread, Huckabee is now playing far too well in the south for the mass win he was expecting out of FL and F5.

If he survives NH, I'd send him to FL, TX, NY, NJ, CT and CA. Spend as much money as possible. Because if it works, the momentum will build and the money will flow in. If it doesn't, it's over.

Once Hillary gets back on her feet, I'm sure that Rudy will as well.

The difference is that Clinton is the kind of person who wins the Democratic nomination, moderate on economic and military issues (to suggest that she's right on those issues is hysteria to the extreme) and left of social issues. Giuliani was never, ever a good fit for the Rep primary/caucus voters. His numbers were inflated by his name recognition and lack of decent alternatives. He knew that, and hoped that he could get an early win, or that there would be a massive squabble in the early states allowing him to coast in and steamroll on Feb 5, after a big FL win. Well... his strategy is screwed now.
