Florida Decides its presidential candidates Jan. 29, and Republican presidential hopefuls got busy campaigning throughout the Sunshine State.
Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee were all in Orlando Monday.
Meanwhile, John McCain campaigned in Miami and Jacksonville.
Giuliani spoke to a crowd of about 100 supporters Monday morning at the Church Street Ballroom in downtown Orlando. He was introduced by New York Yankee centerfielder Johnny Damon, who is a graduate of Dr. Phillips High School. Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum was also on hand
Giuliani addressed the issue of immigration reform and about the importance of winning both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He also spoke about the economy, saying he has a national stimulus plan. He said he would clean up the current economy by reducing taxes.
"That's why I've proposed the largest tax reduction in American history, to put more money back in your pockets, so that you'll be able to spend it, and by spending it, that's how you stimulate our economy," Giuliani said.
Not everyone at the ballroom was a supporter of Giuliani. Several firefighters protested outside the venue, upset over the way Giuliani handled Sept. 11.
The firefighters said Giuliani did not give them proper masks when they were cleaning up the ground zero site, and did not allow them to thoroughly clean up the site.
At a mid-afternoon rally, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney promoted a message of change, highlighting what a Washington outsider would bring to the table.
"Having lived my life in the real world and the real economy, I know that if all you can do is talk, you get fired in your job in the real economy," Romney said. "You got to get the job done, and so I'm going to Washington to finally get the job done -- to make sure that we do end illegal immigration, that we do solve our long-term problem with Social Security."
Another former governor -- Mike Huckabee of Arkansas -- spoke to dozens of supporters Monday afternoon, saying he knew how important it was to earn Florida's 57 delegates.
"I'm second in the delegate count," Huckabee said. "Winning Florida would be great, but winning the nomination is what our main target is, and it's pretty clear that nobody is going to have this wrapped up by Florida."
The candidates were expected to attend plenty of rallies and events leading up to the Florida primary on Jan. 29. Click here for a list of upcoming events.
