Wow. The media that has largely been ignoring and not caring about the LA caucus ignored the person that came in second of said caucus.

I'M AWESTRUCK!

Seriously, there's a very legitimate reason why Giuliani is getting a lot of press going into Florida. He's using an entirely new strategy where he's not caring much for the earlier states and putting all his eggs in this one basket. This is a HUGE state for him, a make or break, and is one he's actually been focusing on. This is perfect story. I would completely agree with the Paulites if he was getting this kind of coverage in NH or Iowa, but he wasn't. He's getting it now because this one is the core focus of his campaign.

And whether the Paulites like it or not, its not insulting nor a stretch to call him a longshot. He does not have the name recognition, he does not have a win in any state yet, he is polling last nationally and I think even below Thompson nationally at the point that Thompson dropped out. He IS a longshot, but notice that "shot" is still in there.
