It looks like Giuliani got more votes than Kucinich, so at least he's got that going for him.

The big question: will he beat Ron Paul in South Carolina? So far, it's 2 and 2 for Paul versus Giuliani. Though of course, Paul has more delegates.

FWIW he wasn't here much. I didn't get 1 Rudy phone call, although I heard from Huck's son.

McCain, if Rudy had been showing I might have voted for him.

Generally speaking, there are no good guys as we see it, only bad guys. Kinda of like listening to a Yankee / Red Sox discussion on this board or anywhere else - to anyone outside the debate, both sides are assholes.

I don't have any illusions that one is better than the other, but the country is better off if power changes hands peacefully through legitimate elections.

Who is my guy?

Rudy chose a strategy. That strategy exposes him to constant ridicule for a month while he waits in the wings for his precious little hand-picked battle. Deal with it.

Irrelevant. With Mitt taking Michigan, the road is now open for Thompson to win SC.

Then The Rudy, having waited patiently this entire time in his underground lair somewhere in Broward County, will be ready to make his move.
