Confident Rudy: Iowa, Schmiowa

As other candidates were making a final push in Iowa, Giuliani was already in New Hampshire. He quickly moved on to Florida yesterday to keep step with his strategy of focusing on delegate-rich states.

"No insult to Iowa at all, but we see this as a different primary election," he said, shrugging off his recent slide in the polls and insisting he was still ahead in more states than any other candidate. His made his comments during a morning speech at a New Hampshire Segway plant that drove home his positions supporting increased military operations and reduced taxes. (More Rudy Giuliani stories.)
