Remember Giuliani? He was a "shoe in" to get the nomination (kind of like he was a shoe in to beat Hillary in NY Senate race), and then run the table against Hillary in the Presidential race?
But here's what happened:
In the Senate race he read the poll numbers and bowed out. He thereby forfeitied the sympathy vote for his prostate cancer. Of course another bout of "infidelity" fever was also on him at the time, so that may have influenced him.
In the primaries, the more money he spent, the lower he dropped in the polls. Somehow the hype couldn't translate into votes.
He then bet everything on "turning it all around in" Florida. Uh oh, too many retired New Yorkers in Florida for that to work out.
So he scooted back to his law offices, where, in violation of election laws, he had continued drawing salary during his run. Of course "the screaming skull" showed back up at the RNC. You remember the RNC, where SP showed up, wowed the trogs and got McCain about a 10 day bounce.
She was HOT for a couple of weeks, but then those pesky questions started; experience? Oil and gas regulator? Truthfulness? Shifting blame to everyone else, extreme snarkiness.
The base is still fired up about her, and those that still have money will be sending it in for more smear ads, but somehow that "old black magic" isn't working as well this year.
Poll numbers dropping.
The base is still excited though.
It should be an interesting, and mud filled final 4 weeks.

As somebody who voted for Rudy as mayor (I am Dem) I found your post very interesting. My one point of contention would be his abandoned senate campaign. I think he may have won it. There was a lot of (and still some) carpet-bagger anger against Hillary.

Funny thing about elections, they only go to one of the names on the ballot! IIRC he was dropping in the polls because Rudy was counting on winning just with the NYC/metro area vote, and had IGNORED the western part of the state and all the places Hillary had taken her listening tour.
Look at the debate vido of the loser (can't recal his name right now) when he got right up in Hillary's face badgering her to sign a (???) no tax pledge. Based on Rudy's antics he'd have tried the same thing and had it backfire too. When are some indictments coming down on this a**ferret?
What are a part of speech, a part of speech, and a politician with nothing of substance to offer!
Too bad you bet your money in the stock market and not in Jeopardy. Also, the ? was missing - so it was not in form of a question.
I think Palin has impacted you.
