Bye Rudy, Hello Mittmentum

New Miami Herald poll: McCain 25%, Romney 23%, Giuliani 15%.

Before you write in and ask me about Huckabee and Paul, I couldn't actually find the complete poll statistics. But these numbers were in this article about the collapse of Rudy's campaign.

But there are some great quotes. This one's from the pollster: "Giuliani for all intents and purposes has virtually no chance to win in Florida."

Then there's Rudy's campaign motto: "Tested. Ready. Now."

I confess I've mainly confined my ridicule of Rudy to the foreign policy and shag fund fronts as well as on Rudy's megalomania. So I'd never really taken a moment to focus on this motto. But as Ann Friedman points out at Feministing.com, in an age of STDs and coming from a playah like Rudy, it sounds less like a campaign slogan than a free-form haiku Rudy might extemporize when trying to get one of his latest conquests into the sack.
