Updated: Oops -- He Can't Give Huckabee A Pass

Update 2 - My bad, Paul is not up with Rudy, the colors for Paul and McCain are confusing and I screwed up. h/t Allah at Hot Air.

Update: Rudy sends out a statement aimed at Florida and works the church angle into it. Like I said below, watch Florida. Right now it holds the key for his campaign. I'd also expect to see him start going after Huckabee. Why not? Everyone else is, even Fred.

"Unfortunately, this shows the true nature of the Castro regime. When churches are tear-gassed and teenagers arrested for wearing wristbands that say ‘cambio’ the world should see clearly that the time for freedom has come for Cuba."

A week ago, it looked like the Giuliani campaign could afford to let Huckabee take down Romney in Iowa, as he wasn't a real threat anywhere else, not even nationally. All that's changed.

Scroll for the graph of Iowa. As it stands, Huckabee could win.

Move to New Hampshire, Rudy is now neck and neck - with Ron Paul. McCain.

As Huck gos up in South Carolina, Rudy is headed down.

And that's most clearly reflected in the national polls. It's almost a one to one relationship, Huck's gain is Rudy's loss.

If Rudy continues to let Huckabee go unchecked, Rudy's campaign might be over by Super Tuesday. The state to watch is Florida. He's fine for now, but if Rudy starts to slide there, he could be toast.

I won't shed any tears if Rudy disappears, and opens the field for the candidates who actually resemble conservatives.
