...course, that was four years - a lifetime - ago. But even if they have recently been more up for grabs than he would like to admit, it's hardly safe to assume that every one of the states Rudy mentions as gettable is at the moment available to him - or ever likely to be. The onetime New York mayor has never won a statewide race in New York, where Democrats outnumber Republicans roughly 5 to 3. In California, he would need to pick up well over a million votes from Bush's best showing there. New Jersey hasn't voted...

She rejects all questions involving hypothetical situations, and refuses to offer specifics on how she would make social security financially solvent. Romney has shifted his opinion on abortion, gay marriage and everything in between. When asked why his sons were not serving in the armed forces, he responded that they were helping their country by campaigning for him. Giuliani has tried to bolster...
