I’m skeptical of any third party threat to Giuliani. The Viguerie poll is not only unscientific, it shows vulnerability against a fictional character. A third party candidate would need to be independently wealthy, a la Ross Perot, both to get exposure and to mount the massive effort that it takes to earn ballot access in many states. Any conservative willing to buck the GOP would almost certainly — indeed, almost by definition — be slightly nutty, thus scaring off both donors and voters.
