All this ink spilled and not one mention of the early primary state where every Republican nomination has been decided in the last 50 years: Florida.

OTOH, I can give you a host of examples where candidates won in the over rated and over hyped attention whore states of New Hampshire and Iowa and went on to lose the nomination, sometimes even failing to finish second.

Amen

Iowa is trivial, a media event

Florida is the telling event
