Ho, boy. Smoke and mirrors. I'll post quotes in the edit window.
Edits Follow:
Reporter: Glad to be back?
Forbes: Yes, but "it's more fun to be an agitator than a candidate."
<OK, I'll give him that much.>
Reporter: How's Rudy gonna do in NH?
Forbes: "Fine here." Plus: "He sees this as a national campaign." Intense marathon, not a sprint; if McCain loses tomorrow, over. If Romney does poorly tomorrow, over.
Reporter: Satisfied with 4th place finish with Ron Paul?
Forbes: He'll be "satisfied" when he wins the nom. Look for new initiatives in coming weeks.
Reporter: Justify this strategy.
Forbes: Rudy is being a leader, trailblazing by not doing what true leaders do: taking a risk.
Reporter: Handicap the Clinton/Obama matchup.
Forbes: Obama tapped into desire for new blood. Cites dynastic meme of two family rule in a nation of 350 million. Florida will be the real first showdown between Obama and Clinton.
Reporter: Is economy a problem for the eventual GOP nominee?
Forbes: Not for Rudy, who is not associated with Bush Admin. The econ will show strength later in the year.
Reporter: Should Bush do fiscal stimulus right now?
Forbes: No, failed in Japan. Cut tax rates instead.
