The first CAT fund TV ad

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani announced that starting Friday Floridians will see a TV commercial that talks about an issue dear to their hearts: property insurance.  Giuliani is going to tout on Florida airwaves how he's the only Republican candidate that wholeheartedly endorses a nationwide catastrophe fund that Florida leaders say would help cut Florida property insurance rates.

Here's Giuliani and Attorney General Bill McCollum during a press conference in Boca Raton, where Giuliani denied that he made a mistake by blowing off early primary states to focus on Florida.

"Given that it's still a wide open race, No, I don't think it was a mistake," Giuliani said.

[see ya, rudy]

nice try. bye, bye!!

Is the CAT fund even polling as an issue people care about? Somehow I doubt it.

RUDY IS REALLY DESPERATE!

National Cat. Fund will never get Congress approval, not when each state gets 2 votes in the Senate.

Nice interview from the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, too bad he couldn't answer all the questions. They were pretty simple.

"Given that it's still a wide open race, No, I don't think it was a mistake," Giuliani said. “Besides, a lot of people marry their cousin, cross-dress, cheat on their wife and use tax dollars to try and hide it, and… exploit the death of innocent Americans for personal and political gain.”

McCollum, nuff said.

3:27 You can say the same thing about McCain who bailed on his first wife.

is it true that Rudy is considering McCollum as his VP choice??

scary foto!

WHEN GENES GO REALLYREALLY BADDDDDDD!!!

what a matched pair of goobers!!!!

"It doesn't make sense that someone in Kansas should subsidize someone who lives on stilts in Florida," said Bob Hartwig, chief economist for the Insurance Information Institute.

God, McCollum is even more of a patron of lost causes than Marco Rubio. St. Jude move over!

3:44...People in Kansas already do subsidize the Florida stilt home insurance-Federal Flood Insurance!

Rudy's waiting until the Friday before the election to run an ad on a CAT fund? He should fire his advisors! Oh, they're not getting paid anyway.

Bad decisions, compounded with worse ones.

BYE BYE. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Go back to NY and run for Governor first. Then maybe you will be credible.

NY wouldnt elect him either

[Campaign Manager]

No doubt he also read the piece in the Fix (the Washington Post's political blog) asking why he was blowing the race by running the CAT ad online and not on the air.

Not that he hasn't already blown the race.

[Mo-rawn for President]

What kind of moron thinks he can lose 6 primaries/caucuses and then just jump into the election like everything is fresh?

Coming from the child of divorced parents, I will be the first to stick up for divorced men. Just because you marry a mistake does not mean you should stay with her. Leaving your wife is the stupidest reason to not vote for someone.

[MITT RULES]

DIDNT HE HIRE A LOT OF SHADY PEOPLE WHEN HE WAS MAYOR OF NY?

MITT RULES

Romney is truth challenged. He flip flops. He is a closet Democrat. He is pumping his fortune into the campaign. A fortune that was earned on the backs of folks that he laid off. He is a scoundrel and hair dying miscreant. He should go back to Massachusetts and supervise the illegals that he hires. He did nothing as Governor of Massachusetts. Name one thing other than HillaryCare!!

MCCAIN

WILL

BE

80

YEARS

OLD

AT

THE

END

OF

HIS

SECOND

TERM

Of course people in Kansas should support people who live on stilts in Florida. Who do you think supports people in Kansas when they have complete towns wiped out by a tornado?

The blank check spending on catastrophes has to stop. Didn't a bridge just collapse last year in Minnesota? A CAT fund is not just a Florida issue.

[MITT RULES]

MITT HAS THE REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE THAT WE NEED.

RUDY AND THE HUCKSTER HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE BOARD ON ISSUES.

You have to ask how it came to this moment for Rudy. He was the national front runner most of 2007 and now his campaign is a third place finish on Tuesday from being over.

This race is trending toward Mitt. Of the 4 polls taken since Thompson got out of the race, Mitt leads in 3. McCain is up by 1 in the other.

It's very fair to say the winner on Tuesday is the national front runner. If McCain loses, voters in Super Tuesday states will abandon him. Honestly, most Republicans don't like him - especially conservatives. McCain abandoned us years ago with the issues he picked to advocate in the Senate.

mccollum is the kiss of death. avoid at all cost. he is the social disease. and that wife of his could haunt houses in her spare time.

sho nuff,

I am afraid you just opened yourself up to a liable suit. McCollum's wife is not a public figure.

Expect a telephone call.

Time for a McCain Mutiny

McCain is leading in most states including FL CA TX NY NJ PA

6:13 - McCain isn't leading in Florida according to 75% of the most recent polls. And those other states don't vote on Tuesday.

That's like saying Rudy was winning a year ago.

Howdy Doody McCollum

[Howdy Partner]

How in the hell did McCollum win an election. Did you all see his deputy manager appointments. He appointed an anti-trust attorney as a manager. Poor capitalist of florida. McCollum will concentrate power in the bureacrats to your doom. Move headquarters to Alabama.

McCain is clear front-runner.

Giuliani 'ran like a coward on 9/11'

Families of firefighters killed in the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center rallied in Orlando Tuesday in anticipation of the state's upcoming Republican primary. Unfortunately for Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, the firefighters are not in his corner.

"We want America to know that [the Giuliani campaign] is lying to America and to the American pubic," said Jim Riches, a deputy chief in the New York Fire Department, "telling all of Florida that the New York City Fire Department backs him, when that's another lie."

Firefighters and their families vowed to dog the former New York mayor at all of his Florida campaign stops because the state figures prominently in Giuliani's big-state primary strategy. The protesters think that Giuliani was aware that firefighters who responded to the World Trade Center attack were carrying defective radios and did not hear the order to evacuate.

"He didn't prepare us before, during, or after," says Riches.

Giuliani has campaigned strongly on his leadership during the attacks on New York, claiming he is the best suited to prevent an "Islamic terrorist war against us." But the firefighters were quick to question that courage.

"Yeah, the decision he made was, which direction he was going to run," says Riches. "And he ran north, and that's all he did."

The Giuliani campaign labeled the display a misleading, partisan attack. The former mayor is also emphasizing his ability to deal with the economy, distancing himself from the 9/11 pitch.
