Giuliani hints at possible exit from GOP race
2008-01-29
Yeah, I think that's what I'd do, too, if I was coming up on a real important, make or break primary. Or I could keep my mouth shut and wait for one of my rivals to leak something along the same lines.
Top of the Ticket at the Los Angeles Times reports that Rudy Giuliani may be laying the groundwork for quitting the Republican nomination race if he doesn't win the Florida primary tomorrow.

In the back of his chartered plane on the way to St. Petersburg, the blog says, Giuliani told Times reporter Louise Roug and others, "The winner of Florida will win the nomination." Though he went on to predict he would win, "that's an unusually categorical statement," the bloggers note.

Especially since it would take an upset for him to win. Polls show Mitt Romney and John McCain fighting for first place, with Giuliani trailing badly.

#5  I did not say he was THE only significant candidate if the issue was terrorism, only that he was A significant candidate only if THE issue was terrorism.

#4  I liked him initially be he wore on my pretty quick. Not that I wouldn't vote for him still, it's just that I wouldn't be really happy about it. Then again none of the remaining Republicans would really make me happy.

#3  first off, I bet a lot of McCain voters are very concerned about terrorism. Im not arguing if theyre right or not, just what their concerns are. On the Dem side, Clinton has actually used the possibility of a terr act as a reason not to vote for Obama (again, not saying if shes right or not) and has attacked Obamas position on Iran.

I think there are quite a few non-Giuliani voters who are concerned about terrorism.

#2  Giuliani is only a significant candidate if the key election issue is Islamic terrorism. His position in the polls is evidence that America is no more concerned about it than Europe. At some point all will get another very painful wake-up call.
