Do or die for Giuliani

It's become a "three" man race for the GOP nomination after Fred Thomspon withdrew on Tuesday and Mike Huckabee's campaign crippled after not having won South Carolina. I say three man because it could quickly become a two man race if Rudy Giuliani does not win or have a very strong showing in Florida next Tuesday. The former Mayor of New York City has put all of his political eggs in the Florida basket eschewing traditonal caucus and primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan, and South Carolina. It's become so bad for America's Mayor that he trails in the delegate count behind Ron Paul and is becoming dangerously low on cash. For Giuliani to remain a viable candidate and make this primary season a three man race he'll need to sell the voters of Florida on his no nonsense approach to homeland security, a national security strategy on steriods, and a bold tax cuts to restart a sputtering economy if he has any aspirations of winning the nomination. Winning Florida and its 57 delegates would put him second in the delegate count behind Mitt Romney and give his campaign a much needed media and economic boost heading into Super Tuesday on 5 February. Otherwise, a poor showing will all but end Giuliani's campaign and narrow the Republican field to McCain and Romney where it's anyone's ballgame.
