Rudy Giuliani's campaign manager Michael DuHaime released this statement, after a sixth place finish:
"We congratulate Mike Huckabee on a hard-fought victory in Iowa. This race is wide open and we will continue to run a national primary campaign designed to win the number of delegates necessary to become the Republican nominee. Rudy is the only Republican candidate who can not only win the primary and general elections, but will turn purple states red."

My recent predictions for Iowa were correct on this blog by conferring with my internal sources of the campaigns....Now I give you the info on Rudy....
Rudy will not win NH or SC
Rudy polls numbers couild have him soon conceding Florida which was his "Firewall State" as new polls reflect these numbers. (Panhandle problems in Florida)
Rudy has money problems!
Bye-bye Rudy

Iowa is one of the most purple states. 4% is not a win.
