I love comedian Dennis Miller. He often gives these obscure references in telling a funny story or using an analogy in explaining something. Tonight he was on the FOX NEWS program "The O'Reilly Factor" and was asked by Bill O'Reilly if it was a mistake for Rudy Giuliani to hold off seriously contesting a state primary, in his campaigning for President, until the Florida Primary on January 29. Miller said it reminded him of Lawrence Harvey in John Wayne's "The Alamo" telling the defenders to "HOLD.....HOLD....HOLD" before they opened fire on the attacking Mexican Army as they advanced on the Alamo. If you remember Lawrence Harvey played Col. Travis who commanded the Alamo. In John Wayne's "The Alamo" he wanted the defenders to "HOLD" their fire till the Mexican Army was close enough that the defender with their single shot rifles could not miss. (ie don't fire till you see the whites in their eyes) John Wayne's "The Alamo" is one of my favorite movies. Miller gives a very graphic explanation of Rudy Giuliani's strategy in waiting till Florida.
