Rudy Giuliani, who has made Florida the centerpiece of his Presidential campaign, spent the last week pandering to every possible demographic. Here is a quick rundown.
Latinos: Rudy has claimed to be tough on immigration and a frequently used line in his stump speeches is " you should be able to have to read English, write English, and speak English if you want to become a citizen." However that didn't stop him from running several Spanish-language ads in Florida, with Rudy himself giving his approval en Espanol.
Evangelicals: Rudy is not one to let his multiple divorces, adultery, or support of gay marriage and abortion take away an important voting bloc. Speaking at El Rey Jesus Church in Miami, Giuliani quoted scripture and told the crowd how important faith was to his life. Being a predominately Hispanic church, it is unlikely he broke out his English-only message here either.
Nascar Fans: Rudy visited Daytona International Speedway, where he took his campaign bus for a lap around the track. He was denied his request to drive an actual racecar unfortunately, depriving us all of a Dukakis-like image of him in a jumpsuit. Giuliani also declared that "Nascar is a great sport", a statement that almost collapses under the weight of its own stupidity.
Hurricane-phobes: Alright that one is stretching it a little. (Any Hurricane-philes out there?). Nevertheless "fiscal conservative" Rudy was quick to support a National Catastrophe Fund which would give long term low-interest loans to states affected by natural disasters. Just to show he wasn't trying to buy votes in Florida he pointed out that " New York has hurricanes" too.
Obviously Giuliani is feeling supremely confident about Florida, which allows him to speak his mind freely and the political consequences be damned! This is the kind of principled leadership we expect from America's Mayor. Patent Pending. Patent Pending. Patent Pending.
Voters of Florida, don't allow the victims of 9/11 go unavenged, vote Rudy Giuliani.
Please?
