Not just that, but he's rather risked alienating members of his supposed party. The only real thing about him that is GOP is his stance on terror; half of his platform is 9/11. He's liberal on immigration, isn't quite exactly what one could describe as having "Christian values," and is a city boy. Not to mention that he ignored the early states, which are purely used for momentum.

Florida's electoral slate is greater than all of the previous states combined (at least, it is for the Dems), and is winner-take-all if I recall it so. It was ca calculated risk on Guiliani's part, and I would say that he's lost the gamble. McCain's win in SC could possibly have been what spelled doom for him, because McCain, who is closer to independent (McCain-Feingold, anyone?), won in what is probably the most right of all of the formerly Solid South. In the past several elections, those GOP members who won SC did not fail to get their party's nomination.
