Tested - Ready - Now and UNENDORSED
(Giuliani appears Monday at St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport. Scott Keeler | Times)
Rudy Giuliani tried to spin the fact newspaper endorsements haven't gone his way in a new Web video today. "Rudy Giuliani is not endorsed by The Tampa Tribune. Not endorsed by the Orlando Sentinel. Not endorsed by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. In fact, he's not endorsed by any of the liberal newspapers..."
Of course, the Trib and Sentinel are known to have more conservative editorial pages than some other Florida papers.
"Our message is a positive message," Giuliani just said to a crowd of nearly 100 at St. Pete-Clearwater airport, telling them he is avoiding the "nasty" charges that his rivals are flinging.
Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum told the crowd that Giuliani will prove the press and polls wrong.
"I understand this is the key county in Florida for Rudy Giuliani," said Texas Gov. Rick Perry.



bernie kerik will endorse him..as well as most any other metropoltan thughliarcriminaltype.

If Judy Ruliani and Hillary Clinton win the noms… either way, we’ll get a split-tail in the White House!

Ehh, too little too late, Rudy.

Who are you kidding...
"Of course, the Trib and Sentinel are known to have more conservative editorial pages..."
Yeah right, and both endorsed John F. Kerry in 2004.

Romney is the only candidate that cares enough about ALL AMERICANS to campaign in all states. He has the most popular votes, has won the most states and delegates thus far. He is clearly the front runner. He starts earlier and attends many many more events than his competitors. Don't you want a President to work this hard for you? All of the other campaigns have struggled with MAJOR financial problems. His has not and it is not only because he has managed his own life well enough to have money but because he has earned more in campaign contributions that all other Republican Candidates. Another reason is because he has managed those finances well. He is doing this for a service to society proven by the fact that he does not accept salary for community service as Governor or at the Olympics.

Scott,
Great photo; you’ve captured the very essence of his chances.

(sorry - i know this may be wrong post to put this comment on, but time is short)
McCain's national "Hispanic Outreach Director" is Juan Hernandez, an open borders, dual citizen, "Mexico First" advisor - so apparently, McCain may delay building that "g**dammed" fence.
from Juan's site: he endorses that illegals should have US banking priveleges, free flow over the US border, US licenses and ID, absentee balloting in Mexico while staying "active" in the US, etc.

1:48: You obviously are a paid staffer on the campaign. Be prepared to look for a new job on Wednesday, after McCain knocks your boy out of the race.

Rush Limbaugh has a new statewide Florida poll showing Romney up 12 points over McCain... stay tuned.
Posted by: newzaroo | January 28, 2008 at 02:20 PM
then again, Rush is adicted to pain killers.
Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 02:25 PM
Rush is addicted to his man-crush: Romney.
Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 02:30 PM
McCain is a one act dog and pony show. War War War
Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 02:32 PM
That was good ad Rudy! Sorry it has come too late.
Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 02:34 PM

Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 02:41 PM
Rush Limbaugh is a has been that won't vote for anyone other than Romney. He obviously wants the Clintons back in the White House to help with his ratings!

"PPP surveyed 680 likely Republican primary voters on January 27th. The Survey’s margin of error is

Given what the Republicons and their kind "Dubya" have doen to our Nation... I'd say the margin of error is about +/- 680
Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 03:03 PM
Newzaroo: who paid for the poll, Rush? And did he pay the pollsters in Oxy tabs?
Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 03:14 PM
Rudy, I will not vote for you no matter what. You should be ashamned of all those divorces! You are a liberal! Vote Huckabee.
Posted by: Sally | January 28, 2008 at 03:16 PM
sally - by voting for huckabee, you will be putting mccain in first - a liberal's dream candidate
Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 03:22 PM
OBAMA!
Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 03:26 PM
So Rudy will finally beat Ron Paul somewhere?
Ron Paul has beaten Rudy in 5 out of 6 states so far.
Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 03:32 PM
So, who do you staffers think is the hottest; Ryan, Randy, Paula, or Simon?
Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 03:34 PM
I voted early for Rudy also! Lots of votes already cast. Hoping for a miracle and Rudy wins!
Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 04:00 PM
I voted early and often for Rudy...that's why there have been so many early and absentee ballots cast.
Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 04:02 PM
PLEASE call out Mr. McCain on his call out of Romney on withdrawal from Iraq when 3 months earlier he was doing the same thing. Senator McCain has been getting a free ride for long enough. I would like some "straight talk" from him on this issue.

Rudy- after tomorrow your campaign will smell like cordite. You know the smell that filled NY as well as asbestos a few years ago. How safe was that air and what did you know.

The four-day USA Today/Gallup Poll was conducted Wednesday through Saturday. Over this period, almost one out of five registered Republicans indicated that they had already voted via absentee ballot. For results based on the sample of 552 Republican voters in a “low-turnout election,” the maximum margin of sampling error is ±5 percentage points. This smaller sample represents Republican primary voters who appear most likely to vote in the primary based on responses to a set of questions about current interest in the election and past voting behavior.

Thank You, Florida... every day we get closer to President Willard Mitt Romney.

Don't listen to polls. Rudy has real support here in Florida and all it will take is one good showing to get him back in the limelight.
Posted by: Jordon | January 28, 2008 at 09:40 PM
Romney is not winning Florida, and will not win Florida...McCain will. McCain is also up 13 points in California. Every legitimate Democratic strategist admits that their "nightmare opponent" is John McCain because he is the Republicans only hope for keeping the White House.
Posted by: | January 28, 2008 at 10:28 PM
Let us look at McCain’s conservative credentials:
-IMMIGRATION: he wrote the bill granting amnesty to illegal immigrants (co-sponsored by Ted Kennedy)
-SOCIAL SECURITY: he voted to give your social security money to illegal immigrants
-TAXES: he voted against the Bush tax cuts multiple times (he has since flip-flopped and has campaigned as a lifelong tax-cutter)
-RHETORIC: he routinely engages in Democratic class warfare against big companies in America, particularly the “evil” drug companies who research cures to debilitating diseases for a profit
-ECONOMY: as recently as December 2007 he admitted “he does not know the economy very well” and needed to get better at it
-1ST AMENDMENT: he wrote the McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill that was declared to be an unconstitutional infringement of the 1st Amendment (co-sponsored by ultra-liberal Democrat Russ Feingold)
-2ND AMENDMENT: he was called the “worst 2nd amendment candidate” by the president of the NRA
-ENERGY TAX: wrote a bill (co-sponsored by his buddy Lieberman) imposing a massive tax on energy which, according to the Department of Energy, would drastically raise the price of gasoline and put 300,000 Americans out of work
-GLOBAL WARMING: supports radical global warming legislation which involved him voting with every Democrat; think only America is responsible to take action, not other superpowers
-JUDGES: he joined forces with Democrats (Gang of 14) to block the Senate Republican’s attempt to confirm conservative, strict constructionist judges
-WAR ON TERROR: fought with Hillary Clinton to demand that terrorists be given a full American trial
-GAY MARRIAGE: he joined liberals to fight against a federal marriage amendment supporting the institution of traditional marriage
-CHRISTIANS: campaigning in 2000, he famously described Christian leaders as “agents of intolerance”
-PRO-LIFE: he filed an amicus brief against pro-life advocates in Wisconsin
-BI-PARTISANSHIP: he met with leading Democrats in 2004 to discuss the possibility of being John Kerry’s Vice-President
-PROFESSIONAL ETHICS: ringleader of the infamous Keating 5 ethical scandal which cost US tax payers $160 billion (Google it)
-PERSONAL ETHICS: McCain cheated on his first wife after she had a severe accident that left her partially disabled. He then divorced her and married his multi-millionaire mistress, whose daddy bought McCain a spot in the Congress
