Why would Rudy Giuliani bother dropping out now?
Sure, he invested a lot in Florida, and his crushing loss surely didn't help his campaign. But he still had a lot of support in different Super Tuesday contests. He might as well have stayed on for another week.
Some will point to his campaigns money troubles. But lets dig a little deeper.
THINKING VP
During his concession speech, Giuliani endorsed current Republican frontrunner John McCain. One could take this at face value; Giuliani supports McCains positions and values.
Politicians dont think like that. Youve got to put yourself in Rudys shoes. Whats the closest thing to the presidency? That whole vice-presidency thing.
And its looking even better for Giuliani. McCain will take office at age 73, the oldest president ever, I believe. If the former Prisoner of War gets conked out, so to speak, Giuliani would get exactly what he had wanted from the beginning: the most powerful job on Earth.
The doctors say, "Think horses, not zebras." When faced with confusing symptoms, think of the obvious conclusion rather than look for an exotic disease to diagnose. SC and FL did not produce the hoped-for miracles. So Super Tuesday? No chance.
To pass the VP "test", the ultimate choice cannot outshine the President.
That's why I believe Obama or Clinton would never agree to be each other's VP.
Sunny: I agree with you, even though a Clinton-Obama candidacy would be perfect (at least, IMO).
