That was pretty clever. Points for you.

Wow, I at least thought he'd hold on until NY.

That would make sense to me too but Florida was often said to be his 'do or die' state and where he concentrated all his efforts..finishing anywhere less than first or second there would end it for him, and it did.

50k for 1 delegate vote

That's what I'm saying...

Yay!

Now if we can just get Huckabee to drop out.

Guliani and Huckabee are the only GOP candidates where I think it would be truly disastrous if they won. The rest of them I still don't like, but those two can never be allowed to be president.

what about Romney, or McCain?

Like I said: Not good, but not disastrous.

Although granted I don't follow them as much as other people. You might know something I don't.

Remember that Florida is made up of mostly former NYC area residents, and those old folks vote. I think he would have tanked in NY, had he made it that far.

Don't get me wrong, I liked Mayor Rudy, even if he made it harder to 'find certain stuff'. I think ever since 9/11, he became a victim of believing his own publicity.

Florida really has many more mid westerners than anything. Most of the ex-New Yorkers are in the East coast cities.

I had a business in NYC when Rudy became mayor. In his first year he was like a breath of fresh air. After that he became abusive with his power. He was not a man to disagree with as the police commissioner was soon to find out. Actually the police commissioners sin was that he was too effective and received too much notice from the media.

His activities on 9/11 have since been evaluated as much less than the heroic image he like to portray.
All of the facilities he had at his disposal on that day were put in place long before he became Mayor.

Glad to see he's out of the race.

Romney- Double quantamamo
McCain- 100yrs in Iraq

Just say no.

I think Ron Paul should get equal coverage from the media, then people would see the others for the fools they are.

That is precisely why they go out of their way to ignore him. If any of those neocons did what his campaign has done it would be all over the news.
