Rush pulling for Mitt?
According to the Globe, Rush is increasing support for Mitt. This will certainly be true if Fred drops out after SC.
We need to have a two-man race between Mitt and McCain as soon as possible, and then just settle on one and begin to rally the troops.

Huckabee might throw a wrench in that plan tomorrow.
He certainly might, although I'll be surprised if McCain or Thompson doesn't win SC. The one major reason McCain might lose is that Mitt might split votes away from him. I think Romney's got Nevada locked up, and once Super Tuesday is over I doubt Huck will have any legs to stand on.
As for Thompson, he's hinted that if he doesn't win SC, he's done. I think by Feb. 6 Fred, Huck, and Rudy are done.
BTW, just finished the 1776 book. It's a relatively quick read since it's not that long of a book. The illustrated version really adds to the experience, giving you a great feel for the scenes of the day. I started the Franklin book by Isaacson; after that I'll get to the Hamilton book.
It all depends on SC. If McCain wins, he could have the nomination locked up by Feb 6.
If Huck wins (huck's still running well ahead of Fred in SC polls), it scrambles things.
Huck becomes likely to win or place in FL, and then to carry a set of southern states on Super Tuesday. McCain is then jeopardized, and Rudy might his hands on a top 2 finish in FL and still be able to win NY/NJ and some % of CA's delegates on Super Tuesday. If you want a quick resolution, better hope McCain or Romney wins in SC tomorrow.
It will definitely be interesting. Mitt's strategy is to hopefully take at least 3rd in SC, win Nevada, and also win FL. I heard he plans to put a lot of effort into FL after Nevada. He's actually polling ok there in most recent poll, which has 3-way tie with him, Rudy, and McCain. If McCain takes SC, I suppose it gives him momentum boost heading into FL, but with enough ad buys and appearances Mitt might be able to take him.
