American Spectator:

  • If Rudy Giuliani finishes a distant third in the Florida primary on Tuesday -- as current polls suggest he will -- his strategy to play rope-a-dope for the first few presidential rounds before Florida will look like the worst decision since new Coke, perhaps the worst since the designated hitter.

    Whoda thunk that the guy who led in most national polls for a year could turn himself into an also-ran in a matter of weeks, just by not being part of the conversation? There's a lesson here, and it probably has to do with having to engage as soon as the battle is joined. The prevent defense doesn't work any better in politics than it does in football. And you sure don't use it in the first quarter.


I hate to say it, but I think Rudy blew it. It looks like I'm stuck with either McCain or Romney.
