When isn't Rudy in Florida?

That's the question after a two-day bus tour morphed late Thursday into a five-day swing through the state, further buttressing Giuliani's bet on winning Florida to make a serious stab at the GOP nomination. He arrives Friday in Coral Springs, and then on Saturday, hits Bradenton for a town hall meeting and speaks in Port Charlotte, both on Saturday.

And then the bus tour starts Sunday through Tuesday across the state. That would be Tuesday, the 15th, when Michigan has its much-watched primary. Real Clear Politics averages put Rudy in underdog status in Michigan, where John McCain, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are duking it out.

It should be more routine than Wednesday's events.

Any details on where and when he'll be speaking?

The subway left without Rudy..Lets face it Florida is Going Fer Huckleberry..The is an evangelical state and it shows because of the wondeful economoy we are enjoyin brought on by our Evangelical Leadership.We need a pastor to pray that I can pay my taxes and insurance or that my doublewide dont git ferclosed..See Rudy is a heathan Catholic so its Huckleberry fer me n mine..


I swear, the man just can’t help himself. It’s got to be an involuntary reflex now.

When asked to comment on Hillary Clinton’s show of emotion just before the NH primary, Rudy Giuliani invoked once again the sum total of his campaign platform: 9/11

I think everybody is their own person and they have to be their own person and this is not something that I would judge anybody on, one way or the other. And the reality is, if you’ll look at me, September 11, the funerals… the memorial services…there were times it was just impossible…not to feel …not to feel…not to feel the emotion.

McCain’s Costly Tax on Energy
Some facts voters in Michigan, and beyond, might want to consider.

By Roy Cordato

Raleigh, N.C. – What do John McCain, Environmental Defense, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Pew Center on Climate Change have in common? They have united to support a massive new tax increase on energy — which will raise costs throughout the economy and threaten the vitality of, among others, the oil and automobile industries.

Rudy is either a genius or a moron. If he wins Florida and the Tsunami Tuesday votes, then he's broken the backs of Iowa and NH. If not, then the best he can hope for is to be Hick's running mate.

John McCain is the real deal.

Polling has him beating every Democratic candidate head-on.

That may be why a new poll shows Republicans want him to win the nomination because anyone is better than socialist Hillary.

To Jason straight:

I have read your rantings on 4 different topics. I am not sure why you keep blogging.
You are not bringing anything constructive to them just sarcastic remarks. Do you think your going to change anyones mind with jokes with nothing factual behind them.

On everyone you have complained about your taxes and insurance. You need to do that on the blogs about Florida taxes and insurance not national candidates blogs. With all the time you spend on the blogs you could probably get a second job and pay those taxes. Besides Floridas overall tax burden ranks 44th highest in nation. Evidently you didn't set up your personal budget very well.
Also it's pretty evident your a democrat why don't you blog with them.

I'm with you on the McCain Ticket.
Real clear shows him as the only rep. to beat Hillary or Obama in general election.

Strange thing is that same polls show Edwards beating all the Reps.

The Dems don't seem to be getting that.

I hope Gulliani doesn't throw a wrench in McCains bid by winning here.

I really don't see Gulliani as being able to work across party lines. Thats my problem with him. Besides I desperately want to see campaign reform as I believe we wont get any positve change for the american people until we can get the politicians out of big business's pockets

I'm independant and can't vote but I urge all you Reps. to vote for McCain in the primary. You will get Independant help in the general election.

I would vote for McCain whatever party he was under...He will be a Great leader.

If it's not McCain I don't know who I will vote for in General I really don't care for any of them outside of maybe Edwards.
