When isn't Rudy in Florida?

That's the question after a two-day bus tour morphed late Thursday into a five-day swing through the state, further buttressing Giuliani's bet on winning Florida to make a serious stab at the GOP nomination. He arrives Friday in Coral Springs, and then on Saturday, hits Bradenton for a town hall meeting and speaks in Port Charlotte, both on Saturday.

And then the bus tour starts Sunday through Tuesday across the state. That would be Tuesday, the 15th, when Michigan has its much-watched primary. Real Clear Politics averages put Rudy in underdog status in Michigan, where John McCain, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are duking it out.

It should be more routine than Wednesday's events.
