Republican Race For The Florida Primary

In Florida today the Republican candidates seem to be gearing up for a fight. Both Romney and McCain appear to be attacking each others credibility in being the Republican nominee.

Romney is saying that he does not need to have a Vice President who understands the economy implying that McCain would need to be brief and would need to have a VP who does know the economy. Speaking near Miami Mitt stated, "No one needs to give me a briefing on the economy. I won't need to choose a vice president that understands the economy — because I know the economy."

McCain has spoken in the past on Romney's idea of secretly withdrawing troops and how he disagrees with him. But today John McCain said, "Even if the economy is the, quote, number one issue, the real issue will remain America's security, And if they choose to say, `Look, I do not need this guy, because he's not as good on home loan mortgages,' or whatever it is, I understand about that, I will accept that verdict. I am running because of the transcendental challenge of the 21st century, which is radical Islamic extremism."

As they bicker back and forth in front of the news and cameras as to which of the two is better for the job, Rudy Guiliani informs those listening to him, "Senator McCain and Governor Romney are doing such a good job of attacking each other, how about voting for somebody who's not attacking? Vote for me, Rudy Guiliani."

Huckabee taking advantage of the free media on the Sunday morning talk shows took a chance to speak about the Clintons. "There are not two people who are better at street-fighting politics that's Bill and Hillary Clinton. I've been telling people a long time, don't underestimate the scrappiness with which they'll approach this race"
