Rudy
Rudy to run as independent? Well, at least for now he hasn't formally declared as a Republican. If Rudy or McCain ran as an independent it would really throw a wrench into things. It would almost certainly guarantee Republican loss, and maybe even Dem too. I'd be surprised to see Rudy burn the Republican party at this stage of his life (although less surprised if McCain did so), but who knows? He's already made a good amount of money from his consulting company, gets paid a fortune to speak, and if he figures he'll never have a shot at winning Repub primary he just might do it. I'm sure he realizes his best chance of winning presidency is in '08, and will only decline as we get further removed from 9/11.

I simply do not believe that Rudy will run as an independent. If I'm proven wrong, it will be a disaster for the GOP, as SHK points out.
Rudy shouldn't even be worried about the eventuality of losing the nomination, however. Based on the polls, he's the clear front-runner right now, and has been running 5-15 points above McCain in most of the state and national polls I've seen. Rudy should be spending his time sewing up support, divesting himself of his business entities that will create conflicts of interest, preparing his paperwork to file, and getting into the race ASAP.
