Giuliani: Campaign Will Go On
EmailABC News’ Jan Simmonds Reports: Following a rally in Boca Raton today, Rudy Giuliani said he has no plans of dropping out of the Republican race for the nomination if loses Florida on January 29th.
"I"m going to continue my campaign. I have no plans to end my campaign," said Giuliani. "Of course I anticipate winning Florida, because I don’t go into a campaign anticipating losing. I have no reason to not anticipate winning."
Talking about recent polls that show the former Mayor in a distant third, Giuliani touted his candidacy as still very competitive.
"We are very, very competitive. In some polls very, very close," Giuliani added. "In some polls, we even had a poll where we were first. We’ve been second to, second to Mitt Romney, second to McCain. When you look at these polls they are all over the place. I think we are in good shape here and for an election that is as fluid as this, we got a very good chance."
The Giuliani campaign released two ads today in Florida, both touting his record as a fiscal conservative and his support for the National Catastrophe fund. The campaign feels that these issues will generate support among Floridians and likely will be the difference if they are able to pull out a win.

He needs to go away. Ruthless, psychotic, and by NO means does he have ANY business running for President.

Rudy will win Florida because he is the Republican party’s best shot at the Presidency. Sad to say, America is not ready for a Mormon president and we don’t want Mr. Baptist minister either. Besides McCain is WAY too old.

Funny How No One Speaks About Dr. Ron Paul as if he did not exist when he just won 2nd in Louisianna and beat Rudi in Nevada….
Ron Paul schooled Rudie on history and continues to beat him and all the other republican candidates in fundraising yet the news media continue to black out his message.

Ron Paul is the ONLY GOP candidate with any credibility. Rudy is a mobster hack, McCain is at best unstable.
Ron Paul Revolution!!

Well, although it’s expected, I find it unforgivably anti-American that the media are so blatantly and consistently ignoring Dr. Paul. And, ironically, they keep on pretending that their darling Rudi has a chance. They try to shove him down our throats, while failing to admit that (thanks to “we, the people”) Dr. Paul is beating the daylights out of him! Denial is not a river in Egypt, it’s a habit in American politics.
No democracy left here, folks! Ya better move to Iraq if you want anyone in OUR government to care about YOUR life or democratic rights. It’s one of our greatest exports – democracy – yet we don’t have much more than a thread of it to cling to here in the good ol’ US of A. And the Rockefellers and media moguls are building some big scissors to clip that last thread! What I want to know is “where’s Batman and Robin?” These Jokers want to rule the world! Too bad Ron Paul doesn’t have a Bat-Mobile. That would beat a blimp any day!

Rudi is not really a Republican, nor a Democrat, as defined today. He might could do better at private business. He’s talented, but he needs a private life, and as a New Yorker was protected, as New Yorkers want results, safety, a clean city, etc. But he does not have “mass appeal” and a “Southern understanding.” Huckabee the same-no “Northern understanding,” or Western. No Ronald Reagan in 08. Dems win.

Rudy has no chance, he’s a total loser, he will be lucky to come in forth.
Great commercials, but Floridians can see past that even with our cataracts.
Now go away Giuliani.
