Rudy Giuliani has reportedly filed a “statement of candidacy” with the Federal Election Commission, meaning that he is joining John McCain among the contenders for the GOP nomination. So what do all the people who hyped the two of them as third party candidates say now? Obviously, if McCain and Giuliani thought they had a better chance of winning as independents, they would have run as such. (An independent run is still possible, but you look like a sore loser if you do it after being defeated in the primaries.)
