Senator Sue Lowden campaign with Governor Whitman and National Right to Life organizers in Florida. Sue hopes that a strong showing in Florida can prove that she is in fact that most well-rounded candidate.

Friends, I believe we can win Florida. I believe we can win Maine and Hawaii. And friends, I think we can win this nomination!
-Sue Lowden in Florida, before flying to Maine

Cantor continues to campaign in Florida, stopping all along the state with town hall meetings and rallies.

It is essential to renew the promise made to Americans, social security. FDR didn’t intend for people to work less then they live and while it may be nice, we must face reality and know the government cannot pay trillions of dollars for these unfunded mandates. We must raise the retirement age to 68 by 2020 and 70 by 2030. We must allow for private accounts so Americans can save and invest their money for their own futures and retirement plans. The American people know better than the government about their lives, their families and their personal economic situation. A child born in 2000 is expect to leave to be 100, there is no reason they should be working less in their life then the total time of retirement and school. We may not like to face the facts, but if our country wants to stay afloat we must. We cannot continue to pretend we have money to pay for everything, we don’t and it’s irresponsible and a flat out lie to the American people when the government promises one thing and has no money to pay for it.

Senators and Governor's that endorsed Cantor campaign heavily in urban cities while state local officials campaign in their home districts, often making joint appearnces with the Speaker.

After monumental victories in the early primaries, Senator Sherrod Brown appeared in Florida to thank his supporters and push forward and sweep the remaining states. 

"We've accomplished so much America, but there's more work to be done.  We need job security, universal health care, and a government that watches out for its people; not the special interests and big businesses."

In a sign that Senator Brown is gearing up for the general election, his campaign released an ad criticizing the records of the two leading Republican candidates.

"The race is tight in the Republican primary, but no matter who wins the nomination; America loses.  Both Senator Lowden and Speaker Cantor have long records of voting no on legislation that has helped average Americans make ends meet.  They both stood against reforming a broken health care system, blocked motions to end the trillion dollar war in Iraq, and held up legislation that would have provided much needed benefits to millions of Americans.

Where does Sherrod Brown stand?  He supports cutting tax breaks for corporations that ship jobs overseas, supports continuing reform of our broken health care system, and helping millions of unemployed Americans get back on their feet.  It's about you America.

I'm Senator Brown and I approve this message."

Senator Sue Lowden thanks a crowd in Florida for their support...

Though we did not emerge on top tonight, we have made a huge statement by showing that we can compete with Mr. Cantor in the South! Now, I urge you all to continue the fight with me, and we can make America a stronger nation!
- Sue Lowden

Lowden then makes stops in Maine, California, and Illinois in a 2-day swing.

[California8429]

Cantor spends a few days campaigning in Hawaii.

There's one candidate in this race you can count on. I have kept my promises over the years, and that is exactly what I will do in the White House.

Cantor then will leave after Hawaii's elections to head to campaign in California.

Senator Sue Lowden campaigns with Sarah Palin in Illinois, speaking about the history that could be made...

Ladies, we have another opportunity to shatter this glass ceiling once in for all! 3 lovely ladies have put millions of cracks in it. But friends, I believe I can break that ceiling! Get out on primary day, and vote for a strong woman who will lead this country well! Now is our moment in time, to rise up as one body of conservative women, ready to elect one of our own to the nation's highest office. The time is now to get finished what began decades ago!

Lowden thanks supporters via webcam...

I would like to give a warm thanks to everyone who has voted for me thus far, and those who plan on voting for me in the future. After recent results, it's great to see us with a delegate lead. I ask you all to tell everyone you can to vote for a bright future. Thank you.
- Sue Lowden

[California8429]

Cantor hits cities all over California with friends, family and fellow statesmen.

Hawaii and Maine looked like long shots to us. I mean...it's not easy being the conservative candidate. But that's exactly why I'm running, to give America what we need. We need to protect our personal and economic liberties and get the government out of our lives.

[Eleden]

In a further sign that the Brown campaign is beginning to focus solely on the general campaign, Senator Sherrod Brown appeared at a campaign rally in Jacksonville, Florida despite the fact the Democratic primary had already taken place.




 I'm running for President because I believe in this nation.  I believe that the ideals of an America "for the people and by the people" should still ring true.  And in order to fulfill that idea we must end the Washington concept of putting special interests before the people.  This includes ending corporate welfare and lobbyist influences.  

As President I will end the philosophy of "private profits, socialized losses" that has taken hold of this government over the past few years.  Under a Brown administration, I promise you that I will work to bring an end to special corporate rights and make the average American's interests my highest priority."

[tmthforu94]

Sue Lowden continues to campaign hard, especially in California with a focus on education...

Friends, unlike Mr. Cantor, I value education, public and private. We will support higher funding for education, and not go against good funding for public education like Speaker Cantor has. We must invest in our youth, not take away.
