Floridians, will you vote for Giuliani? (Tampa: conservative, radio , rain)

To anyone here who is registered as a Republican:

Has Giuliani's intensive campaigning in Florida convinced you to vote for him in the upcoming primary?

Nope.... hasn't changed my mind one iota.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it's hard to see how he can win here. I see many bumper stickers around here with "No abortion" and such. Those people will never vote for him.

I saw a surprising amount of Ron Paul signs and "Ron Paul-mobiles" around Tampa Bay...the only rep. I would take seriously is Mitt Romney and the only republican I REALLY like is Ron Paul. I don't like any of the Dems.

Ron Paul guy- 100%.
The reason you see a disproportion (in relation to the number of votes he actually gets) of Ron Paul signs and stickers is because we're more passionate about our candidate and willing to let the world know.

I'd say that 75% of Ron Paul voters have RP stickers and signs, whereas *maybe* 5% of voters who will vote for a major party contender are similarly inclined to "let the world know".

the mayor doesnt have it but Mitt Romney does.

i'm from NY and most people around here can't stand Rudy Guiliani. He is a criminal, liar and cheat. Just look at the crony of friends he has in his circle. Bernie Kerik, anyone? I hope he loses BIG in FLorida. Just so I can see the look on his face. When he gave that $10 million back to the Saudi prince after 9/11 i've lost TOTAL respect for him. If you want more of Bush, then Rudy is your guy.

As usual I agree with Mr. Limbaugh...

Rush Limbaugh: May Not Support GOP Nominee

Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh stunned his listeners by announcing that he might not support the Republican presidential nominee in this year’s election.

Limbaugh said on Monday’s show: "I can see possibly not supporting the Republican nominee this election, and I never thought that I would say that in my life."

The reason: “You don’t have a genuine down-the-list conservative” among the GOP candidates.

“Wherever you go here in this roster of candidates, you're going to be able to point out ‘not conservative, what he did there is not conservative’” Rush said.

The Republican front-runners want the nomination “because it's their turn,” he also stated. “We tried that in '96 with Bob Dole and now they're running the same scenario…

"I'm telling ya, it's gonna come down to which guy do we dislike the least. And that's not necessarily good."

After Rush’s pronouncements, Los Angeles Times blogger Andrew Malcolm wrote: “Across the country, people were dropping their coffee cups, choking on sandwiches, fainting and driving off the road. The king of conservative talk radio not supporting the Republican nominee?”

But Limbaugh’s remarks are not quite so surprising in light of statements he made about GOP candidates Mike Huckabee and John McCain last week:

“I'm here to tell you, if either of these two guys get the nomination, it's going to destroy the Republican Party. It's going to change it forever, be the end of it. A lot of people aren't going to vote. You watch.”

Giulianni is too soft on Immigration, and that is one of the issues that is devastating the core and the foundation of the prosperity and sustainability of the American empire. In my opinion the man was Fred Thompson; unfortunatelly, he wasn't too popular; why? because he is not a politician; he is a conservative American; with that said, he is not around trying to sell the story. Since most of the people need to hear what they want and what they like, no matter if it is true or false, they never paid attention to Thompson. Just a few people can see beyond the speeches and faces. Thompson is a rational thinker, not an emotional thinker; and a president must decide with the brain, not with the heart.

From what we have left now, I guess our best bet is Romney.

I can't vote in Florida...yet....but my vote goes to Ron Paul.
Some might think it is a wasted vote, but it's the only vote that would let me sleep at night.....
