GIULIANI HITS GREEN AT $1M TRUMP GOLF FEST

Florida donors golfed up a storm of cash for Rudy Giuliani’s presidential ambitions yesterday – about $1 million, according to real-estate mogul Donald Trump, who hosted the “golf-raiser.”
“It’s been a great day – every hole was packed with people,” said The Donald, who threw the shindig at the posh Trump International Golf Club, in West Palm Beach.

A host of sports notables and Florida politicos attended, including tennis ace Jennifer Capriati, hockey veterans Guy Charron and Pierre Groulx, Palm Beach Mayor Jack McDonald, and Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum.

Trump reportedly won the tournament. He said Giuliani “played very well.”

About 500 people paid $1,000 each to attend a post-tournament cocktail party.

And the latest Florida poll shows Rudy in the lead:

Rudy – 29%

McCain – 15%

Romney – 14%

Fred Thompson – 9%

Florida stands to play a much greater role in the nominating process than it has in years past because state lawmakers moved the state’s primary election from March to January 29. That makes Florida the first megastate to weigh in on the nominations, followed by some 20 states expected to vote on Feb. 5.

Part of Rudy’s strategy, on his way to a decisive win on Super Duper Tsunami Tuesday, February 5, 2008 is to win the early Florida primary. The race is not a lock but it will be difficult for any of the remaining candidates to compete with the number of former New York City retirees and voters who reside there and hold Rudy in such high regard.

In this Florida poll, Rudy leads McCain by 13 points.
