Hardball Big Number
On Thursday's "Hardball," Chris Matthews explained why 26 was the Hardball Big Number of the day.
"Rudy Giuliani has an interesting and well-known strategy to win the Republican nomination. He says it starts in Florida on January 29th and no voting before that matters. He even has a new ad out to back it up.
So, with Rudy's new ad in mind, the Hardball Big Number is 26. Twenty-six days between the Iowa caucuses and the Florida primary. Twenty-six days for Rudy Giuliani with "no" wins, "no" bragging rights, and no "mo." If Rudy survives that span and proves that his plan worked, then that number is bigger than "big," it's "huge." It's the new measure of political rope-a-dope! Watch video
