DENVER - He’s slated to speak at the State Democratic Committee breakfast tomorrow, where former Gov. Jim Florio says he intends to make the message very simple: it’s get tough time.
"I don’t well up easily," said Florio, as he rose from his chair in the Spotted Dog bar after watching senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden stand together on stage at the Pepsi Center. "It’s an inspiration, and hopefully the start to a great campaign."
Great implies it will also be enormously challenging.
Given what Florio terms as the "abysmal" record of the Bush administration, "this should be a coronation, not an election, but the Republicans will unleash negative ads against Barack that will make the Swift-boating of Kerry look like kindergarten.
"We have to be tough," Florio added. "They have to distort the truth to get elected, we don’t - but we have to speak the truth and speak it with toughness throughout this campaign."
Lucinda Florio, former first lady of New Jersey, said she is confident that new voters will make the difference ultimately in Obama-Biden’s favor on Nov. 4th.

Florio
He's the biggest LIAR that has ever walked this Earth and now say's the Democrats speak the truth.
"but we have to speak the truth and speak it with toughness throughout this campaign."
Then they go back to lying...................You pityful waste of human energy Florio, you're the "abysmal record" from both your time in Congress and the State of New Jersey where you left you stinking mess to last for years.
So stay in Denver and never come back.............
Whiners
The Dem's always seem to whine about being "swift-boated," but they never tell you that Dem's and liberals outspend the GOP and conservatives on these type of ads 4 years ago. George Soros has been funding these type of attack ads for the left and has already stated he will do so again this year.
That's the left for you - they can dish it out but they just can't take it.
"I figure people drift toward liberalism at a young age, and I always hope that they change when they see how the world really is.”
- Johnny Ramone
Johnny Ramone quote
That Johnny Ramone quote is just plain stupid. The late Johhnny Ramone was not out saving the world in at “a young age” in the 60s and 70s. In other words, he was no liberal in in his young. Johnny Ramone was merely taking adavtange of the freedoms which liberals promote to get rich. Therefore, what Johnny Ramaon actualy meant was if you are at a young age say in your early 20s and are forming a punk band it is cool to be liberal because conservative would never condone such a lifestyle. Then when you are in your 30s and 40s after becoming super rich -- well then now it is cool to be a conservative so you can say rich.
