The Daily Background

Okay so remember Rudy Giuliani’s strategy in the presidential race? His brilliant idea was to skip all the early states except for Florida, in the hopes that a landslide win there would make up for his lack of organization or campaigning in the February 5th states and somehow vault him into the lead on Super Tuesday.

It didn’t make much sense from the beginning but for some reason the pundits are still taking him semi-seriously. Now a new poll from American Research Group (insert joke about past unreliability in states other than New Hampshire here) seems to show that Rudy’s master strategy is, uh, not going to pay off. Is Rudy leading by a landslide? Not exactly.

*Thompson dropped out of the race on Tuesday, although his supporters, who, like their candidate, fancy themselves “consistent conservatives” are among the most unlikely to support Giuliani.
