Ok...I've been wrong before and I will be again....But here's my predictions for tonights' Florida Primary:
Newt will fare much better than expected. Santorum will do a little better than expected as well. Romney may win this, but it will be a much closer race than most people think. Almost every poll in South Carolina put Romney almost exactly where he ended up and the same was true in New Hampshire. To me, this denotes that undecideds are going heavily toward Gingrich, or other candidates as was the case in New Hampshire. In South Carolina, most of the polls showed Gingrich at least 8% lower than his actual vote totals, with the exception of the Public Policy Poll. The Real Clear Politics average of all the polls showed Gingrich up 5% in South Carolina, when in fact he won by 12.6%. Santorum was polled at 11.8%...and finished at 17%...Romney polled at 28.5% but finished below it at 27.8%. Using the PPP as a guide, as it was the largest poll and most diverse if the pattern holds true for Romney he will finish with 39%. Gingrich is already leading Tea Party members and Evangelicals, according to the notes in the PPP poll. If that pattern holds true, then the same results will occur that happened in South Carolina. Gingrich should increase his total from 31% to 38-39% making this too close to call. I see Santorum going to 17% with Ron Paul getting about 6% of the total.

Don’t know who started it but I love the moniker “Romney-Do-Right”
Unfortunately those early Florida voting ballots give Romney a big edge —that was not the case in SC
Is it true that George Romney praised Saul Alinsky’s work?
14 weeks if Newt looks like the winner................
Or a roof and siding man.
Or a futures broker....
Or...wait, a politician!!!
Just another Bill Clinton....but a bit cleaner.
Veneers, dyes hair, fake smile,,,fake candidate.
14 weeks to count all of the Florida votes???
Yeah..........Although I might be off a dozen weeks or so....: )
Sadly Willard is winning big in Fla. $17 million in attack ads will do that for you. The POS has bought the Fla primary.
I thoought that would generate a LOL.
With 94% votes in obviously Mutt found some voters, but 46% to Newt 32% and 15000 ads to 200 for newt, its no wonder. Not to mention all the Northeasterns living in FLA.
All the FNC talking heads aresmiling widely tonight.
