TPM: Kiss of Death? Rudy's campaign manager praises Hillary's wait for Ohio and Texas strategy ...

Kiss of Death?
Rudy's campaign manager praises Hillary's wait for Ohio and Texas strategy ...

Mike DuHaime, a Republican consultant who managed Rudolph W. Giuliani’s campaign, said Mrs. Clinton was making the right decisions in trying to make the most of her strengths.
“Clearly, she has had success in larger states and there are a whole bunch of delegates at stake on March 4,” Mr. DuHaime said. “They are not trying to figure out who can win the most states; they are trying to figure out who can win the most delegates.”


Special Thanks to TPM Reader SN for this chilling catch.

5. Mediamatters debunked the myth that Rudy bypassed those states
That was an excuse not to embarrassed Rudy who fought VERY HARD in New Hampshire and lost, and who tried in Iowa but quit ONLY AFTER he saw that Iowan didn't care about him.
ABC News reported on January 8th that


ABCNews.com article that "statistics compiled by ABC News indicate that he was clearly competing to win in the Granite State as hard -- if not harder -- than many of his rivals." Indeed, the article reported: "Statistics compiled by ABC News Political Unit and ABC News' team of off-air reporters indicate that Giuliani held more events in this first-in-the-nation primary state than any other Republican except for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in neighboring Massachusetts. He also spent more on TV ads than anyone except for Romney and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz."

7. Depnds on who you believe. It was well known why Rudy
skipped those states. Hillary is in trouble no matter what she does. Even if she wins the nomination she still loses. She will then have those that absolutely hate her still against her, plus a legion of new, Obama lovers who vote against her for spite. She is in a no win.

2. How many states did Rudy win?
How many states has Clinton won?

I think you see the difference.

He should never be given a job again.
