(Buh bye, Rudy. - promoted by phillip anderson)
Today, on the eve of the Florida primaries, it appears the utter failure of Rudy Guiliani's late state strategy is at hand. While many have been predicting this for some time, including individuals on this site, the data now indicates that the trends have settled in. With no time left, the fate of Guiliani's presidential campaign is sealed.
The latest polling average data from Pollster.com for Florida looks like this:
Mitt Romney 29.3%
John McCain 28.2%
Rudy Guiliani 15.9%
Mike Huckabee 12.7%
Ron Paul 3.6%

The latest data from the past few days show that Guiliani has faded to a distant third as McCain and Romney have surged ahead. Support for Guiliani has consistently and steadily eroded once other candidates started campaigning in the state, and indeed have been actually steadily eroding in Florida since the end of 2006. His national numbers have also steadily been declining since he enjoyed front runner status in 2007. The latest national polling average numbers from Pollster.com are:
John McCain 32.3%
Mike Huckabee 19.5%
Mitt Romney 16.8%
Rudy Guiliani 11.5%
Ron Paul 5.0%
