THE PREZ'S SOC SEC PUSH CONTINUES

We all knew that Florida would be one of the major battlegrounds for the hearts and minds of the citizenry in the debate over President Bush's plan to privation of at least of the Social Security program. The POTUS was in the Tampa Bay area three weeks ago, and Thursday his Treasury Secretary John Snow spoke to a group of business leaders and senior citizens (approximately 50 people, to be example) at the Tampa Area Chamber of Chamber. The stop was part of a two day tour of the Sunshine State, having a stop in Jacksonville Friday

The Florida Times-Union noted that the crowd at the SecTres' visit to Jacksonville was "...a reliably Republican crowd except for a staffer from the office of U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla."
