Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign has, to date, been a damp squid. Despite dangling his toe in the water in Iowa he still finished an embarrassing sixth behind the fringe candidate Ron Paul. In New Hampshire, Giuliani came in outside the medal positions despite having tried to move his numbers with a series of TV ads. He isn’t really playing in South Carolina having accepted that another state his campaign once thought was promising for him won’t go for him. But amazingly, Giuliani still has a chance of winning the nomination.
If John McCain wins in South Carolina tomorrow, he’ll probably be the nominee. If not, things could break Rudy’s way. John McCain main challenger in South Carolina is Huckabee, who trails him narrowly in the polls and could well win if he succeeds in bringing new evangelical voters to the polls as he did in Iowa.
