25. I think he has a good shot.............
and I can't figure out for the life of me why so many DUers want Rudy to win the nomination. He'd be hard as hell to beat in the general. I think he'd have an excellent chance to win in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, and even Michigan. He wins a couple of those and it's game, set match.
