Was This the End for Huck and Fred--Is Rudy Next?
The campaign trail is littered with corpses right now. I am pronouncing Fred DOA after a horrible 3rd place statistical tie with Romney who didn’t even campaign in SC.
Huckabee is out of money and taking second in SC after being unimpressive in Michigan, NH, and Nevada does absolutely nothing to capitalize on his win in Iowa. This was a state that he HAD TO WIN. It is going to dramatically hamper his fundraising efforts and at this point, that is what the game is all about. He lacks the money to campaign in a nationwide race and we have already seen that the Evangelical vote isn’t monolithic and all it is cracked up to be.
So after South Carolina mortally wounded Fred and Huck, I am making the assumption that Florida will mortally wound Rudy. I don’t see how his momentum is going to turn around at this late stage.
