THE VERY LATEST ON WHEN AND WHERE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES (AND A COUPLE OF OTHER NOTABLES)WILL BE IN FLORIDA (UPDATED 05/25 @ 7:24 PM ET)

Please keep in mind that this is not intended to be a complete listing of visits. Often, a candidate will drop in for a day or two of fundraising events, which are often not mentioned in the media or on the candidate's public schedule.

SATURDAY, JUNE 9:
U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D - CA): Florida Democratic Party Jefferson-Jackson Dinner
Weston Diplomat Resort & Spa
3555 South Ocean Drive
Hollywood
Tickets: $150

MONDAY, JUNE 11 / 8:00 PM
John Edwards - "Small Change for Big Change" Fundraiser
The Rusty Pelican
3201 Rickenbacker Causeway
Key Biscayne
Tickets: $15 / Cash Bar

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20:
John McCain - Orange County Republican Party Lincoln Day Dinner
Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Studios
5601 Universal Boulevard
Orlando

SATURDAY, JUNE 30:
Dennis Kucinich - National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials 24th Annual Conference / Presidential Candidates Forum
Disney's Contemporary Resort
4600 North World Drive
Lake Buena Vista

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26 - SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28:
Florida Democratic Party State Convention
Disney's Yacht Club Resort
1700 Epcot Resorts Road
Lake Buena Vista
NOTE: While none of the party's presidential candidates have yet to confirm that they would attend, one would have to assume that many, if not all, would make an appearance. However, any such visits would be based on if state and national party officials can comprimise on a possible alternative to the Legislature's decision to move our primary into January in violation of the rules of both major political parties. If no middle ground can be reached, such as a caucus held later which would make the January primary a nonbinding "beauty contest", any candidate would be risking the loss of any national convention delegates he/she earns from Florida.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 09
Democratic Presidential Debate
Location TBA
Miami
NOTE: This debate will be the first event of it's kind to be conducted entirely in Spanish, with instant translation to be made available to candidates who do not speak the language and to the audience. The event is the first of two such planned debates; this one is sponsored by Univision Communications and the University of Miami.
