During the different states Republican primaries it seemed to many strange that Rudy Guiliani put all his eggs into one basket. The basket being Florida of course. The news media questioned it, as did all the political advisers who were commenting about it.
All the other candidates shivering in the cold, weathering the storms, trudging through the snow, sleet, or rain. But Guiliani has been spending most of his time campaigning in the lovely, warm sunshine state of Florida. He wanted to grab the retirees from New York state, his home state, who have now settled for what is left of their aging years in Florida. Rudy is so sure he would win big in Florida, after all these silver haired sunbathers knew him as mayor when they lived in New York state. They remembered the mayor of New York City, who had to deal with the aftermath of 9/11. So much did he have riding on the sunny state of Florida that he practically ignored the other states, with little campaigning, loosing in the other states. And with all that attention he has paid to Florida, as it turns out, he only came in third in the Florida polls today.
Not that I believe in the polls, after all the polls do not seem to agree with me on a number of issues. But apparently, Rudy Guiliani forgot the most important rule, 'PEOPLE LOVE A WINNER.' Maybe if he had put some effort into the other states and wined--and--dined the caucuses he could have gotten one of the other states. Then maybe he would have been up in the Florida polls. But it is too late for Rudy to make up for the caucuses he ignored in the other states. Come Tuesday, when Florida votes, we will see.
