Rudy Who?
Paul has his second from Nevada — or, as Romney would put it, “the silver” — and a better finish in South Carolina than Giuliani. He’s also got more money in the bank than most of the other candidates, a muscular fund-raising operation, enthusiastic young volunteers and a message that distinguishes him from the field. He’s in the race for a good long time, and now he’s actually winning delegates.
And what of Rudy Giuliani?
“America’s mayor” either wins Florida — where he has camped out as the other candidates have slogged through Iowa, New Hampshire, Wyoming, Michigan, Nevada and now south Carolina — or there really is no way to make a case for carrying his bizarre campaign forward.
And the issues are not going Giuliani’s way. The country’s talking about a recession, not 9/11 or national security. And McCain, Romney and Huckabee all heading to Florida with better-thought and more effective economic messages. So, too, is Ron Paul — the man who beat Giuliani in Nevada and South Carolina and Michigan and Iowa.
With those four delegates from Nevada, Ron Paul’s claiming 6 delegates.
So far, Rudy Giuliani is claiming 2. That’s one more than Duncan Hunter.
