Very true about Guiliani. The Clintons dragged him through a lot of crap. He was stronger than Paul, and I think he was equal with Huckabee but he had to drop out of the race due to all the negativity. Before all that he had Florida and Louisiana in a strong grip, and was gaining ground in Georgia and South Carolina. I think he ranked third during the primary in either Florida or Louisiana even though he dropped out at the start of the new year of 2008.

The fact is you really need to pick up a couple of Southeastern states to actually have a chance to win the presidency, and those states are strong with the Baptists.
