GOP party members are turning an eager eye to Florida, with Gov. Mitt Romney kicking off his Mitt-Mobile tour with an early morning start in Jacksonville. The state’s primary will be held Jan. 29. Romney now has an ad in Spanish airing in the Miami market. Take a look at the video below this column. Romney has daily events scheduled in Florida Jan. 21-29.
Rudy Giuliani is in Orlando, Daytona and Ponte Vedra Beach—Giuliani also has an ad airing in Spanish.
Mike Huckabee is in Orlando today. Interviewed after the S.C. Primary, Huckabee said, "It is a marathon, not a sprint," when asked how he felt about results from the Palmetto State. It's my personal opinion the weather skewed primary results there. If it snows in South Carolina, people stay home. I base that statement on experiences growing up in South Carolina. My advice to anyone who visits: don't drive if it snows. You might know what you're doing but the rest of the state sure as heck doesn't.
John McCain visits Jacksonville and Miami, and he’ll be in numerous other places in Florida this week.
Ron Paul will be in Boca Raton Jan. 24 for the NBC debate. Paul is, I think, deliberately overlooked by mainstream media. He’s raised an astronomical sum on the Internet, he’s got mountains of political experience, and he’s a top search term. He’s done much better than popular media would have you believe, evidenced by this statement on his Web site:
What a shot in the arm the Nevada caucuses were, where we took the silver as #2, beating McCain, Huckabee, Thompson, and -- of course -- Giuliani. We also got four more delegates. In South Carolina, we beat Rudy again.
As for the Democratic candidates’ participation in public events that your average person might afford—oh, that’s right! The National Democratic Party isn’t acknowledging the Sunshine State primary because our state legislature voted to move the date ahead. Florida delegates won’t be pulling up a chair to the Dem table. So we really don’t have a lot to say about the Dem candidates right now. You’d think at least one of them would have the guts to take a stand for voters’ rights, what with a history of outrage over perceived voter disenfranchisement. Oh, that's right! I forgot we're talking politics rather than ethics.
