ABC News' Jan Simmonds reports: At one of his final campaign stops in Florida on Tuesday, Rudy Giuliani surprisingly looked towards Hillary Clinton as inspiration, pointing out her come from behind victory in New Hampshire as evidence that he could do it too.
"Hillary Clinton was suppose to lose by 7 or 8 points, she won," said Giuliani. "So if you go out and vote, it can make a very big difference in this. There is plenty of time to vote."
Asked about the future of his campaign, Giuliani was hesitant to look beyond today.
"We're focused on winning here, today. That's our focus," he said. "We're very comfortable with the early vote, we think we did very well."
"And we are not going to entertain any hypotheticals," he added. "That would make no sense in trying to get out a vote. We want to make sure that we say to people in Florida, 'Do not listen to the polls, look what happened in New Hampshire.'"
Finally, at the press avail outside a sandwich shop in Del Ray Beach, Florida, reporters took another shot at having Giuliani predict his future.
"We're headed for California tomorrow, absolutely," he responded when asked if he would be in California tomorrow for the Republican Debate scheduled there.

Rudy never said the word "inspiration," and it is unethical to use it in the header for this article.

I feel so bad for Rudy. I'm sure there are going to be many, many analyses of how a one-time front runner fell. Rudy was my one-time favorite...
