...report their November sales until early December, and the estimates by research firms range from a glum 6% decrease in purchases by NPD Group to a cheery 7.2% increase as tallied by ShopperTrak in Chicago, Illinois. For its part, the National Retail Federation (NRF) estimated that mall shoppers spent $347.44 or 3.5% less this past weekend than they did over the same period last year...

My guess is that this calculation is already being embraced by some at Giuliani headquarters. Last week, with their man's polls sagging, Giuliani's team finally spent some of its cash on ads in New Hampshire. And Giuliani spent two days there over the weekend, touring the Granite State by bus. On Saturday, Giuliani said he hoped to pull even with - or pass - Romney in New Hampshire.
