Yes, except does anyone really give a damn about Rudy Giuliani anymore? The great weakness in his wait-for-it strategy was that if all the other guys, by choice or necessity, wound up waiting for it too, his essential superfluity would come roaring back into glaring focus. This is exactly what's happening. Outside of Rudy's campaign, whose needs and desires are disappointed by the other guys yet satisfied by Rudy? Even if there's some hard core of support that can answer that question, it's got to muster some kind of challenge to the hearty enthusiasm that still powers the other guys. And that's all the Giuliani campaign's got to work with. Can they? Will they? Should they bother?
