Former Florida congressman backs Giuliani - 2008 Presidential Campaign Blog - Political Intelligence - Boston.com
Quote:
Rudy Giuliani's campaign said today that a former veteran Florida congressman is supporting him, an endorsement he hopes will boost his prospects in the make-or-break primary on Tuesday.
Clay Shaw, a former Fort Lauderdale mayor, represented the area in Congress from 1981 until he lost his seat in the Democratic surge in 2006. He plans to campaign with Giuliani in Boca Raton on Thursday, leading up to the MSNBC debate.
"I have long admired Rudy's dedication to conservative fiscal principles," Shaw said in a statement issued by the Giuliani campaign. "As mayor, he cut taxes, turned deficits into surpluses, and created economic growth in New York City. Republicans need Mayor Giuliani's strong leadership and his commitment to keeping taxes low and restraining government spending."

I just am extremely amazed at everyone who lived under his mayorship loved him. The firefighters you see heckling, you know what a small percentage of NYFD that is. Most of NYFD was honored to serve such a brave and courageous man, one that made every funeral for every fucking firefighter that died. He went to the hospitals, went to their weddings, etc. This man is someone who cares about his own and that is why you see in Florida a grassroots movement by New Yorkers and east-coasters supporting him so much and that is why you will see him win the state.
Money can't buy a person's heart, Mitt.
