Rudy, the .5? [John Podhoretz]
John Hood, you can quote Larry Sabato until the cows come home — it's kind of a national pastime to quote Larry Sabato, after all — but it is really verging on the inadvertently comic to continue to say that the guy who is leading in two Southern states (as you note) and in national polls and is the only Republican in national polls who beats both Hillary and Obama is running behind someone who isn't in the race yet and someone else who is barely in double digits nationwide. As I always say, Rudy may not make it to the convention as the party's nominee. But it doesn't make sense to keep acting as though he's an also-ran. If you want to defeat him, you're going to have to do better than pretending he can't win.
