PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has dominated his chief rival for the Republican presidential nomination, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, in fundraising along Florida’s Gold Coast, an affluent strip of beach extending 80 miles north of Miami that is home to tens of thousands of New York and New Jersey natives.
Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, which make up the southeastern edge of the peninsula, are home to more Republican voters than any other counties in Florida. They are strongholds of support for Giuliani and have helped him raise nearly a million dollars more than Romney in this state.
Florida Attorney General and former Rep. Bill McCollum, Giuliani’s state campaign chairman, says the former mayor need not win the early primary contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina if he captures Florida, perhaps the biggest prize before Feb. 5, when 20 states will pick their favorite GOP candidate.1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 Next >
