They came down here to say hello? Yes, sir. Welcome to Florida. Ed Muskie knows that Florida can determine the next president of the United States. I'm from Bellevue School, and we would like to make you an honorary Bellevue Bulldog. Well, you know, like a bulldog, I'm going to sink my teeth into this Florida primary and hang on until I win. Use your vote. Muskie for the country.
