Provided Club for Growth finds the letter to their liking
(what's not to like?) this seems to have worked out to Rudy's
benefit. Which makes me wonder why Club for Growth didn't privately
ask the Giuliani camp about his comments. Was the exchange of
letters publically designed to get Rudy's tax record out front and
center just when New Hampshire --where no state income tax and
fiscal responsibility are key -- comes into focus as a possible
break through state for Rudy? Perhaps. As for New Hampshire, Rudy
is going there next week, boosted by the good poll numbers and the
recognition that while NH remains a must win for Romney, a win
there for Rudy could give him a significant leg up heading into
Florida and February 5.
