In the “well maybe he makes a difference in the Northeast” department the NJ state senate candidate Rudy backed and campaigned for won in the 12th district and polling shows Rudy competitive with Hillary in Pennsylvannia (where by the way GOP hemorrhaging in the Philly suburbs seems to have stopped) and Connecticut. Meanwhile McCain is going up on the air in the Boston media market (so how much longer can Rudy hold out)? And there is some mischief making afoot in trying to move the Massachusetts primary up to February 5. It is not a insignificant move– the Bay State has 43 GOP primary delegates.
