ORLANDO, Fla. - Rudy Giuliani was always a long-shot for the Republican presidential nomination, a brash New Yorker who backed gun control, abortion and gay rights in a party dominated by conservatives.

The only surprise was that he lasted as long as he did as the national front-runner.

The former New York mayor planned to exit the GOP race Wednesday and endorse rival and friend John McCain. Giuliani's unconventional strategy of largely bypassing the early voting states and focusing on more populous, delegate-rich states produced just one delegate, a bunch of sixth-place finishes and made him the odd man out.

His best showing was Florida, where he had staked his candidacy. He finished a distant third.

It was a remarkable defeat for the ex-mayor who entered the race more than a year ago with an aura of invincibility, leading national polls and earning a reputation for toughness after his stewardship of New York as terrorists struck on Sept. 11, 2001.

Pretty confusing article - which was he - a long shot or an invincible front runner??? Tough to see how you can be both.
