Though Santorum appears to have the momentum in Iowa, there are serious doubts about whether he has the infrastructure and money to compete with Romney into mega-states such as Florida.

And the thing they left out: Florida is incredibly liberal these days. Nearly went for Gore in 2000, went for Obama in 2008. It would be hard for somebody like Santorum to do well against Romney regardless of funds. Those people sold out to Obama in 2008, and I have no doubt they'd sell out to Romney in the 2012 primary.

They might try tightening up on the voting regs down there and count the military vote for a change. That’d change things. Not announcing the winner before the polls close in the panhandle would help, too.

Absolutely! Look at the two leftists they elected in 2010 for Senator and Governor for example: Marco Rubio and Rick Scott.

Geeze.

Is it a result of the Northeasterners moving south for retirement?

Florida is a split state, but I wouldnt necessarily say the republicans are liberal. This is the state that voted Rubio over Crist overwhelmingly in the senate primary.
