Less than two weeks ago, Mitt Romney had a 22-point lead in Florida, but that’s ancient history in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Following his big win in South Carolina on Saturday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich now is on top in Florida by nine.

Dittos! I guess Romney pissed a whole lot of $$$$$$ down the drain the past month...
GO NEWT!
GO NEWT GO!
COME THROUGH FOR NEWT FLORIDA!!!
This is awesome but my guess Romney got a big lead with the early voting. (I think early voting should be outlawed for this very reason that a lot can happen in two weeks.)
Very lovely way to start a Monday.
I was just listening to Glenn Beck, strictly for the schadenfreude.
He sounds like he’s bleeding out of his eyeballs.
I hope he goes and gargles with Drano.
Great news!!
Go Newt!!
Wowzee!!!! I dont know what Im enjoying more... the absolute unhinged media or unhinged elite repubs. Hysterical.
This fast a swing will be very difficult for Romney to turn around in only a week. I don’t see it happening. 1) He doesn’t have the skills to court the voters, 2) He doesn’t have the message, 3) He doesn’t have the politics, 4) He’ll play a negative campaign that will turn voters off.
Those who want RINOmney want what the Obamaloon wants...they just want it done more slowly and gently.
RINOmney is a vapid (liberal, conservative, whatever you want today) dork.
From the article:
Florida allows early voting, and Romney leads among those voters by 11 points. Gingrich leads by 12 among those who have not yet voted. Fourteen percent (14%) have already cast their vote.
This is awesome just to hear the news media RINOs crying in their hands.
Yeah...but Romney won Iowa. No wait.
Incredible!
Holy smokes, is this for real? Is Newt really going to take Florida????
poor lil Mitt just wet he magic underware
Romney’s sleazy, dishonest negative ads worked in Iowa. Newt would have won Iowa if not for Romney’s sleazy, dishonest ads. However, those voters cast their vote for Santorum not Romney. The GOP base DOES NOT WANT Romney!

Bottom of the page, and top of the page 2 linked there, Stephen Hayes refers to the Romney effort w/r/t the early ballots.
Apparently early voting did not begin until last week, when Gingrich was already surging. We may hope Romney gets no more than one percent of a boost from any early ballots; and if Gingrich’s performance on Jan 31 is anything like that of Jan 21, one percent won’t save Mitt Romney.
Yeah, Romney did lose alot of money. He is not a very good businessman is he. Candidates today know well ahead of time what news or hits are going to come out on them, so it is in their interest to push or stuff the ballot box way up front.
Buy Stock in Duct Tape manufacturers and Visqueen as their collective heads explode if he picks Sarah Palin for VP!
Schadenfruede Baby!
Just to see them reach for the Kaopectate just once, just once it would be worth it....
