I live in north Florida and like most here can’t stand McCain. I voted for Romney. That being said, my take on this is that if Romney could only pull in 31% of the vote in a Republican primary here then he would be simply unelectable in the general election if nominated. Given the sorry state W and his past cohorts in Congress have left the Republican party in, McCain is probably the only candidate with an R that could possibly win the general. Very depressing. But anyone here that sits it out in November and forfeits to Hillary or Obama needs a new set of brains.

That’s a bit unfair to Romney in that McCain won huge in Miami-Dade on the backs of Crist and Martinez endorsements, and got the Cuban community to go huge for him.
I dont think pro-amnesty spanish speakers represent the GOP base overall. If you take that factor out, Romney won the rest of the state.
You could turn it around - McCain won *only* 36% of the vote. No way can he be a credible nominee with those showings. The nominee needs to be a majority consensus candidate.
RINO MCCAIN DOESNT FIT - VOTE FOR MITT.
“But anyone here that sits it out in November and forfeits to Hillary or Obama needs a new set of brains.”
Name an issue where McCain is indisputably better than Hill or THE O.
(Hint: don’t say the War.
McCain has been attacking Rummy fron day one, says Waterboarding is torture, wants to close Gitmo and wants the US to join the ICC...)
