Texas Governor Rick Perry Stumping For Rudy In FL

Quote:
AUSTIN -- Gov. Rick Perry, in a sudden change of plans, is flying to Florida to help fellow Republican Rudy Giuliani pump up his struggling presidential campaign, aides announced Saturday.

A few days ago, Perry's press secretary, Robert Black, said the governor didn't have time to go. But now, with the crucial primary coming Tuesday, Black said Saturday that Perry had "decided to go to Florida and travel with Giuiliani" after all.

Perry will join Giuliani for five stops in Florida on Monday, Black said.

Perry ruffled the feathers of some social conservatives in Texas with his endorsement of the former New York mayor.

Perry admits he disagrees with Giuliani on certain social issues. But Perry has touted Giuliani's fiscal conservatism and has said he believes that Giuliani would appoint conservative judges to the federal bench. Other top Texas Republicans, including Attorney General Greg Abbott and Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, had gone with former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, who dropped out Tuesday. The Texas GOP glitterati overlooked a fellow Texan, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Surfside, in the endorsement merry-go-round.
Rudy is bringing the big guns to beat the RINO McCain. I still expect Rudy to win the state, and I have a very, very good record in regards to predictions.

I'm sure the people of Florida love the idea of a Gov. from Texas coming to town to tell them how to vote.

Rick Perry is a big gun? Then I gues Charlie Crist is an atomic weapon, and McCain has him.

Not only is Giuliani not going to win Florida, he's becoming a non-factor.

According to someone on the ground,

"I received news from someone on the ground with Rudy’s campaign last night who said that the internal polling for the campaign showed that within the previous 48 hours, Rudy took over first place, with Romney and McCain in a pitched battle for second; that Rudy’s level of support is secure, given the monumental success of identifying Rudy voters and getting them out to vote early; that internal polling in McCain’s camp confirmed the same; and that the commercial polls were flawed in one way or another. His victory will be carried on the shoulders of those early voters, so ignore the exit polling the networks will be drooling over Tuesday night. Whether this report is correct or not, we’ll know in about 48 hours, but there’s a greater confidence in Rudy’s campaign in Florida now than there was late last week.

The truth is that Rudy has been engaged in the campaign every day for almost a year now. The media spun that he “distanced” himself and receded into the background from IA through SC. To the contrary, Rudy was there, meeting with voters, campaigning, coming up with positions on the important issues facing the country. He was there if the media had been willing to cover him, but they’ve chosen to give him the “Bush” treatment…basically ignoring him in the hope that this will marginalize him. The media, being the lazy and biased SOBs they are, wanted to report on the horserace aspect of the campaign, and Rudy chose not to play their game. I’ll be sorely disappointed in Republican voters if they have been manipulated by the media in regard to this."

Ron Paul is more of a threat to Mccain then Rudy.
