I THOUGHT I just heard McCain was leading Romney......I am going to have to hybernate for four years if McCain gets the nod........I cannot pull the lever for him at all.
UPDATE: Reader Adam notes, “I also noticed the political trading markets pop a bit toward Romney right after 5 o’clock. Romney had been trading in the high 30s and now he’s mid-40s.”
He also noted some items from the AP writeup of the non-candidate questions:
Given four choices, nearly half of Florida Republican primary voters said the economy is the most important issue facing the country. Terrorism, Iraq and immigration each were picked by fewer than two in 10. The economy also was the top issue out of three choices for voters in the Democratic primary, which none of the candidates contested because of questions over whether Florida’s Democratic delegates will be seated. The economy has been seen as increasingly important since the start of the 2008 presidential nomination season.
Eight in 10 Republican primary voters were white and a little more than one in 10 were Hispanic — about half of whom were of Cuban heritage. There were few blacks on the GOP side. In the Democratic primary, two-thirds were white, about one in five were black and a little more than one in 10 were Hispanic.
I still call Romney by 4 pts, even though the MSM will call FL for McLettuce with 5% of the precints in.
