Giuliani Prods Fla. Dems To Switch Parties For Primary

From NBC/NJ’s Matthew E. Berger
ESTERO, Fla. -- Giuliani took a few swipes at the “liberal media” Saturday, suggesting he had to work around the press while he was mayor of New York City and had learned a few tricks.

Giuliani said he believed eight out of 10 reporters were Democrats “and when you multiply that out across the whole country … you do have a media bias in favor of Democratic policies and Democratic politicians,” he said, after being asked about how he remains upbeat despite a media bashing.

“If I didn’t understand that, I never would have been successful as mayor of New York City,” he said, touting 96 town-hall meetings that allowed him to talk directly to voters. “At least you would get my interpretation of what I was trying to say, rather than something prefaced by ‘the dumb mayor said’ or ‘the embattled mayor.’”

Giuliani then moved on to the Florida primary battle. “Unlike the Democrats, I’m not going to boycott Florida,” he said. “In fact, I’m encouraging them to boycott Florida for the whole year.”

2. I think switching parties for primaries should not be legal. anywhere. ever.

Vote in the general for whomever you want, but, primaries are for those in each party to decide.

9. That fucking scumbag was hated by the NY press because...

he was the most secretive Mayor in the city's history and treated everyone who didn't kiss his smelly ass like dirt. From pretty much day one everyone in his administration was ordered to stiff the press.

All politicians have their problems with the press and that's part of the game, but Rudy was about worst in dealing with them.
