What happened to my man Rudy Giuliani? He was leading the pack at the beginning. Republicans were seeing him as the only truly electable Republican candidate. Even democrats liked him for standing up and saying he was always pro-choice and will remain so (no like flip-flopper Romney). I really thought he was a contender.
But obviously he was not smart enough to put a winning team together; he miscalculated badly. He knew he did not have a chance in Iowa with the religious folk so he just skipped it. But he also skipped New Hampshire and South Carolina and put all his marbles in the Florida basket.
If your not in the running, in the news, in front of people – your funds dry up because people think you left the campaign – everybody knows that – why didn’t you?
People tell me that he thought the 9/11 situation would carry him through and it did at the outset but terrorism took a back seat as an issue, Iraq did not matter as much anymore and his claim to fame in 9/11 did not work for him anymore.
In the end his presidency was not to be and he will go into history as someone future politicians can learn what NOT to do in a presidential campaign.
