Hardball Big Number: 126

Posted: Thursday, January 17, 2008 6:09 PM by Cathy Finkler

On Thursday's "Hardball," Chris Matthews explained why 126 was the Hardball Big Number of the day.

"For weeks now, we've been hearing that Rudy Giuliani plans to begin his winning streak in Florida and that he never really cared about Iowa and New Hampshire. Could Rudy end up winning in Florida? Sure. But let's get straight on the facts here. Rudy absolutely cared about New Hampshire, and he tried hard to win it.

The proof is in tonight's big number. How many events did Giuliani hold up there through primary day, according to an ABC News tally? A whopping 126 events. That's more than John McCain's 104. Only Mitt Romney held more."
