Giuliani Continues Speaking Tour Around Florida

New York, NY —

As he drops in the polls in Florida, Mayor Giuliani is speaking to small but ardent crowds around the state. WNYC’s Andrea Bernstein reports from Sanford, Florida.

REPORTER: Beginning his day in Orlando, the former Mayor is stopping in Clearwater, Ft Myers, and Fort Lauderdale before holding a final rally tonight in Miami. In each campaign stop, the former Mayor who once brooked no dissent is beseeching opponents to stay positive.

GIULIANI: My opponents are fighting with each other, calling each other names, let them do that.

REPORTER: But many supporters of Mitt Romney and John McCain say they have genuine policy differences about whether they want a conservative with a business background or a war hero. As for Giuliani, they admire his 9/11 leadership but many Florida republicans say his personal values are too liberal. From Sanford Florida, for WNYC, I’m Andrea Bernstein.
