Newsweek is reporting that Rudy Giuliani, who until recently was “well ahead of the pack in Florida,” is taking advantage of Florida’s flex voting laws (Florida voters don’t have to wait until primary day to cast their ballots) and “hoping he can convince voters to get to the polls before they have time to test drive other candidates.”
At a rally in New Smyrna Beach, Giuliani asked to see hands of audience members who had already voted. When only a few went up, Giuliani said, “I’ll tell you what–before they even get here to campaign, how about you go out and vote for me?”
The audience laughed. What they didn’t seem to recognize was that Giuliani was only half joking: No, really, he adds, “If I were living here, I’d just go out and vote now.”
Later that evening, he told another audience, “You should go vote for me tomorrow.”
