Republican former New
York Mayor Rudy Giuliani talks to his supporters after conceding
the Florida Primary Election in Orlando, Florida January 29,
2008.?
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani officially ended his
bid for the White House on Wednesday and endorsed Arizona Senator
John McCain for the Republican nomination.
Giuliani made his announcement in California, one day after
being trounced in the Florida primary, and two hours before he was
scheduled to participate with McCain and three other Republicans in
a debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library near Los
Angeles.
"I made it clear at different times of this campaign that the
one other person that I support for president of the United States
was John McCain," he said. "If I endorsed anyone else, you would
accuse me of flip-flopping."
