Firefighters Are Casting A Shadow On Giuliani's Sunshine State Campaign - 01/24/08In the race for the White House, former New York City Mayor, Rudy Giuliani has placed most of his Presidential chips on Florida. However, the anti-Rudy campaign has been heating up as New York City firefighters follow him to the sunshine state. Jesse Russell reports: Coming out of the gate, Rudy Giuliani was seen as one of the potential front runners to beat on the Republican side of the Presidential campaign. Now, five states into the primary season, Giuliani has barely done better than last place. Giuliani has shrugged the results off saying he has his sights set on winning Florida. However, as Giuliani campaigns up and down the peninsula as the 9-11 candidate, he is dogged by firefighters who view his leadership leading up to and on that tragic day as less than Presidential. The firefighters have said they were not prepared for the attacks and Giuliani knew they were outfitted with defective radios. As a result, many emergency personnel lost their lives when they failed to hear the orders to evacuate the towers. Jim Riches is a Deputy Chief in the New York City Fire Department; he told the press in Florida on Tuesday that Giuliani is "lying to America". [Riches]: "He didn’t prepare us before, during, or after, and he ran like a coward on 9-11 and that’s a fact." Posted 01/23/2008 - 5:22pm | 513 reads
