Both Guiliani and Thompson under estimated the media and the general public. Their decisions to avoid the heartland states (Guiliani) and to delay announcement as a candidate (Thompson) were mistakes in my view. Thompson failed to make a splash when he entered. I think an extra six months of his kind of campaigning would have made no difference. As for Guiliani, the jury's still out imo. It certainly looked like a terrible idea, to let himself get beat like a rented mule all through December, and not even be contesting Iowa or NH in any serious way. BUT if Romney emerges fatally wounded, and the temporary front runners, Huckabee and McCain, have neither the money nor the base to go nationwide on Superduper Tuesday, Rudy will begin to look a genius. Maybe.
