Florida will likely be quite a battle, with the SS issue probably giving Mitt a slight edge. On immigration, Perry’s positions are more aligned with Rubio’s and Jeb’s. Those two endorsements may be decisive in Fla.
Perry is up by 9 in FL (29 vs 20 for Romney). Poll was taken day after last debate.
To say however that Romney has “no path” to the nomination is just delusional, however.
Florida wont be close at all, Perry is up by 9 there in the most recent poll.
Florida has the fourth largest number of electoral votes in the nation. As a FL resident I can tell you that for the reason Morris cited, he’s already DEAD in the water here. It won’t matter if he tries to spin and backtrack on his written and spoken words about S.S. He’s not only grabbed the “third rail” of politics but he did so in a non-partisan way - ALL senior citizens - Republican, Democrat, Independent - have been alienated! And not just senior citizens but a host of others who indirectly rely on S.S. for their businesses and commercial investments.
Romney won’t even be in the race come Florida. He’s toast.
