MIAMI - The Republican presidential race turned to Florida on Sunday, ever more chaotic and contentious as four candidates began a 10-day sprint to win the state and momentum heading into the de facto national primary next month.

A fifth candidate, Fred Thompson, weighed the future of his bid after a disappointing third-place finish in South Carolina.

With Florida next in the nomination fight, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney wasted no time angling for the upper-hand. They heaped criticism on John McCain, the Arizona senator coming off hard-fought New Hampshire and South Carolina victories, hours before he arrived in Miami.

"John voted against the Bush tax cuts, I think on both occasions, and sided with the Democrats," Giuliani, the former New York mayor, said in a television interview. He has yet to win a contest and has staked his candidacy on a win in Florida on Jan. 29, and was sharpening his criticism of his rivals as the campaign came to him.

1. Rudy's gathering all his IOUs and busting the piggy bank on a last stand in

the Sunshine State.

The momentum seems to be McCain's, with Huckabible pulling a respectable % as well.

I'm not sure Fred Thompson lasts this week. If he somehow does, I'm not sure he lasts through next week.

It will be interesting to see how Romney does and who his voters support if they abandon him.
