CNN Tweeted it was broadcasting a live event of Newt Gingrich at a Republican Jewish Coalition event in Delray Beach this afternoon, but when I clicked — nothing. Maybe the video will go up later?
The Orthodox Union is hosting two events — one with rick Santorum and one with surrogates for Mitt Romney:
ORTHODOX UNION TO HOST FORUMS WITH GOP PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDERS IN FLORIDA SYNAGOGUES AHEAD OF PRIMARY
Ahead of Tuesday’s Republican presidential primary, the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America – the nation’s largest Orthodox Jewish umbrella organization – is collaborating with its member synagogues in South Florida to host community forums with the leading candidates’ campaigns.
On Sunday evening, a forum will be held at the Young Israel of Hollywood with leading supporters of Gov. Mitt Romney — former U.S. Senators Norm Coleman and Jim Talent.
On Monday morning, a forum will be held at the Boca Raton Synagogue with candidate former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum.
(An event with former Speaker Gingrich is pending confirmation.)
The Orthodox Union, and its member synagogues are non-partisan charitable organizations that neither endorse candidates for office nor contribute to political campaigns. These forums are an opportunity for members of the Orthodox Jewish community to hear from candidates and to express their views to the candidates. The Orthodox Union has a long history of hosting such forums for incumbents and candidates on a bipartisan basis.
And the Obama campaign is rolling grassroots meet=-and-greets throughout the state on Saturday and Sunday — a list is below the jump. Some of the events are in Jewish high-concentration areas (Boca, Broward, Miami), and will feature the party’s state Jewish "stars" like Ted Deutch and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

From "Organizing for America":
As OFA Florida continues to see growing support across Florida for the re-election of President Obama, grassroots supporters of the President will host a variety of voter outreach events throughout the Sunshine State on Saturday, January 28 and Sunday, January 29. Events include opening offices in St. Petersburg and Boca Raton, providing supporters of President Obama a local place to gather and work to organize these communities. Additionally, there will be phone banks, canvases and other outreach activities across Florida. Since the President announced his re-election campaign in April, OFA Florida has committed to a smart, strong and strategic organizing strategy that touches every community in the state in preparation for November 2012. Floridians looking to get involved should connect with us at FL.BarackObama.com, Facebook.com/OFA.FL, and on Twitter @OFA_FL.
