Rudy Giuliani, out of the hospital and without his comfortable double-digit lead in the polls, is back on the campaign trail but planning to take it a little easier for a few days, the New York Times reports. "I feel great," he told reporters on his way to a fundraiser in Rochester. Giuliani has a couple of days of scaled-down campaigning in New Hampshire planned for the weekend.

Rudy's brief illness came on the heels of disappointing polls that show him in a dead heat with Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney. “My message to my supporters is, we’re going to win,” he said. His campaign confirmed he'd been given a clean bill of health, but declined to give any more detail on what was behind the flu-like symptoms that had him hospitalized in Missouri.
