For a while, I was certain that Rudy was the Establishment's man, with Romney a close 2nd. Then came the Huckabee "surge" and media beatdowns of Rudy and Romney. Now, we are seeing attempts to resurrect McCain a bit while beating down Huckster. What's going on here?
I think I know. The Establishment does not want to push a clear frontrunner because they are all ultimately too vulnerable. They want to keep everybody in for as long as possible.
The plan may be for Huckster and Fred Thompson to win delegates in the south, while Rudy and Romney split the northeast and California, as RP takes a bit of everything with perhaps even McCain collecting some scraps too.
This lack of a clear majority winner will force a brokered convention in which dirty tricks and back room deals will be used to screw RP...AND.....leave us with no time to mount a potential 3rd party run.
If this thing ends up being split among so many candidates and destined for convention....the best strategy at that point would be for RP to start the 3rd party run and skip a convention that is sure to be rigged.
But what the establishment fears most is an early RP win in New Hampshire and perhaps a few other early states.
