Win or lose, Rudy California-bound?
Delray Beach, FL — Win or lose tonight, it looks like the Giuliani campaign is making concrete plans to continue campaigning tomorrow morning.
Earlier today Rudy Giuliani told FNC that he “intended” to go to California for tomorrow night’s debate, leaving open the possibility that he might not carry on past today’s Florida primary. Florida has been described as a must-win state for the former NYC mayor and he has repeatedly told audiences here that the winner of the Sunshine State primary will be the GOP nominee.
Campaign aides now tell FNC that they are going to California regardless of the result and have set up a press charter for the trip—unusual for the campaign that rarely allows press to travel with the candidate.
This is not a guarantee that they will not change their plans if Giuliani finishes poorly tonight, but they are at least publicly acting as if they will carry on even if polls showing them lagging in the Sunshine State turn out to be true.

I sincerely hope Rudy stays in. We need his leadership on terror, the economy, taxes, judges & immigration. Don’t forget, he’s the only one who really lives his values. Who stopped Arafat from coming into New York? Who stopped the tasteless anti-religious exhibition at the Art Museum in New York City? Rudy.
Rudy should be the GOP nominee. Look at the facts objectively. Here are 5 great reasons to vote for Rudy:

I agree w/ both Peg and Tim, so I voted for Rudy today. 988 thousand Floridians voted already before today. Pollsters don’t have a handle on how they voted. In Iowa two polls had it close, one had someone else winning, and only one had Huckabee’s numbers correct. In N.H. ALL polls showed an Obama win, from 7 % to as much as 12%–Hillary won. In S.C. polls showed an Obama win by 10 to 13 % …. he won by 25 %. There are disenfranchised Dems who changed reg before Dec 29 to vote on GOP side, and Indie’s like me as well. Pollsters don’t have a handle on these. At 7:01 am est Rudy was ahead from the early and mail-in voting. If you’re in Fla and feel as I do that Rudy is the best future Prez and best candidate for the fall, there’s still time, ignore the polls, go out and vote…we couldn’t have nicer weather in Fla today.

Go Mitt….
Rudy might also be okay….
I had to laugh at Peg saying that Rudy is the “only one who really lives his values”!
This is the guy that moved his mistress into his official residence and who has been married three times. Even his own kids aren’t going to vote for him!
Rudy for VP ??? Listen to the Zookers Radio Program tonight to find out. Zookersradio.com
Rudy is a good man but definitely not the most conservative candidate on this ticket. It remains to be seen if true conservatism is alive and well in America. What does this party want? Rudy played the numbers game and did not have the ability to go the extra mile in this race. This is a presidential race and THAT is not presidential material…But whether or not Rudy voters leave their candidate is not the question.
The big question is whether or not Huckabee followers realize that he is not going to win after he places behind the two top contenders. Huckabee himself will go on and on…taking back seat to the leading candidates…Will his followers follow him to the bitter end or will they jump off the fence and get into this race and be a part of the decision?
I AM GLAD SOME PEOPLE ARE STAYING WITH RUDY. HE AHS DONE A GREAT JOB TURNING NY AROUND BOTH ECONOMICALLY AND ON CRIME ISSUES. STAY WITH YOUR ORIGINAL PLAN AND VOTE FOR RUDY. WITH THEH EARLY VOTING AND PEOPLE STAYING WITH HIM HE WILL DO WELL IN FLORIDA AND CONTINUE ON.
STAY THE COURSE WITH RUDY.
rudy,
this ain’t new york…do us a favor go home……
rudy go home
Rudy has the background we need for the country. His record is outstanding on taxes, future judges, and just over business clean up as in NY. Nancy is right. I’m in Florida and many are voting for him. If everyone keeps to their earlier ideas and does not bail out because the MEDIA says so, Rudy will still win in Florida.
Floridians: Do not listen to the mainstream press and vote for Rudy as you were originally.
I liked McCain until this past week. His overall record just did not seem to cover enough bases. After the last debate I switched to Rudy G. And since I’m in Florida it might help him out.
That is one less for McCain and one more for Rudy G.
Discussion of Florida’s Primary, as well an invigorating town meeting about the future of the G.O.P. Call in to voice your position tonight 7pm central on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/zookers. 1-646-716-7943. National points of view encouraged and hopeful.
If he can’t be trusted in his private life, he certainly can’t be trusted in public life. The guy cheated on his wife. Why should I think he wouldn’t do the same to the nation?
Wow. I was hoping Rudy would be the nominee, but it’s looking more and more like that’s just not possible. If Giuliani can’t win, my next choice is Romney. Now I’ve got a real dilemma; I’m worried that a vote for Giuliani in the CA primary is a vote for McCain- someone I just cannot abide. Are others thinking the same thing?
[...] thinks he can pull off a miracle and he says he intends to go to California, but let’s stay reality-based. If you’d like to leave a farewell message for Rudy [...]
I strongly Urge each and everyone of you Californians to vote for Romney. IF you don’t want to Speak Spanish in the United states then I suggest that you vote for Romney.
Vote for someone that is a True Republican and not a lEfty one like Mccain. IF you care about your country - You will vote for Romney.
Thanks and god Bless you. Look and see that one of Mccains Advisers is a strong backer of Amnesty and giving the path of citizenship to Illegals easily! I suggest that you vote for Romney.
God bless Mitt Romney.
You people are idiots. What the hell kind of cave have you all been living in. I’m sorry you are so delusional, but there is no god. There is no republican candidate who is even a decent human being. There is no intelligence in the Neo-Con Republican party (all of you).
Please, if you want to discuss this further email me - Ryan@RaCreativity.com
I’ll show you how stupid you are…
