Re: McCain Receives Surprise Endorsement

Ana: As it happens, I was in the audience when Rudy made his "surprise" comment yesterday, and I don't think it's such a surprise at all. He's suddenly making a very serious move in Iowa, after many people figured he would ignore it. One of the reasons he senses opportunity: McCain's fall, which puts potential independent-minded voters and McCain's significant organization in play. All day long, as Rudy denounced the Democrats, McCain's was the only Republican name that crossed his lips--and always favorably.
