| Description | Rudy Giuliani, having bet almost his entire presidential campaign on Florida, hinted for the first time that he may drop out if he doesn’t win the state’s primary but insisted anew as the polls opened Tuesday that he intends to win. |
“I expect to win it,” he said. “You don’t contemplate losing it. That isn’t something you do on the day of a primary.”
Polls show the former New York mayor, last year’s national front-runner, trailing badly in the state where he has poured most of his time and energy in his pursuit of the Republican presidential nomination. If he wins Florida, he will have earned the biggest, brashest “I told you so” of his political career.
Lose, and Giuliani may be uttering his final words of the campaign.
“Wednesday morning, we’ll make a decision,” he told reporters between campaign appearances Monday. “The winner of Florida will win the nomination; we’re going to win Florida.” |
