Led Zeppelin

While Romney and McCain slug it out in Michigan, Rudy Giuliani is spending tomorrow's Michigan primary day in Florida which will include a stop in Jax.
As you've heard, Giuliani is putting all his early eggs in the Florida basket so he's not going to be happy with today's Florida poll numbers. From Quinnipiac:

REPUBLICANS
John McCain, 22 percent
Rudy Giuliani, 20 percent
Mike Huckabee, 19 percent
Mitt Romney, 19 percent
Fred Thompson, 7 percent

So he's just two points back of McCain after McCain's victory in NH. Big deal? Well, McCain is up seven points since Q's Dec. 20th poll and Giuliani is down eight.

Dems are camped out in Nevada, their next real contest which is Sat. What about the primary in Michigan? Michigan was slapped around by the national parties just like Florida. Not only did the Dems pledge not to campaign there, either, but all except Hillary, Kucinich and Gravel requested their names be removed from the ballot.

I'm no campaign strategist but is anyone else Dazed and Confused (I read Led Zeppelin's bio over the weekend) about candidates snubbing two states which have a collective 44 electoral votes to deliver in November? This is not new blogging territory I know but with Michigan's primary upon us and Florida's approaching I'm hit by the realization of what is and is not going on in these states.

Also, did you know the name Led Zeppelin came from a comment The Who's John Entwistle made about a band Jimmy Page was putting together. He said something like that it would go over like a lead zeppelin. Page remembered that when it came time to put the real band together. He also changed the spelling from "lead" to "led" so the yanks wouldn't pronounce it leed zeppelin.
