Tea Party Insurgents Fight GOP Establishment In Florida Primary

My take on the Florida Primary:

First there was South Carolina where the Conservative base rallied to push Newt Gingrich over the top instead of Mitt Romney, the GOP establishment RINO darling. The establishment went into meltdown mode after South Carolina. Now Florida’s winner-take-all primary has become the latest firewall in the Tea Party’s and grassroots Conservatives’ fight to stop Romney from a pre-ordained coronation by elite party insiders.

It’s driving me CRAZY not hearing anything coming out of Florida yet! Grrrrr

[RIghtwardHo]

Give ‘em Hell guys!!!!

I find it odd that we’re not hearing anything yet. They’re either hiding what’s going on or they’re too busy manufacturing votes to push Mitt over the top.

No news may be good news for Newt???

[humblegunner]

Yeah, news is written by someone named “LizaBDesired”.

Sure it is.

Don’t you have a Dullard blog to pimp?

I find it odd that we’re not hearing anything yet.

I thought that there was some law that didn't allow the exit polling numbers be reported yet but it wouldn't surprise me (given the depth of desperation of Mittens and his supporters) to see some sort of "cooking" of the votes happening. I'd like to think that that is not happening though.

[sarah palin rocks]

Agreed! Just hope it’s not Mitt. Not sure.

[bayliving]

No news may be good news for Newt???

Let's hope so.

[sarah palin rocks]

Dude, I am done with that lame blog. Writing articles on my own now.

tea party “insurgents”?

[NoGrayZone]

Why aren't they promenading mittens around as the winner yet? I don't want to get my hopes up too high, but it does seem a tad bit strange.

Well, I know its maddening but the Secretary of the State of Florida will not release anything until all the polls have closed. Florida is one of seven states (last time I checked) that straddles two time zones. Miami, Orlando, etc are Eastern time zone and just west of Tallahassee is Central time zone... Panama City, Fort Walton Beach, Pensacola. The Panhandle is predominately Conservative Republicans. So if Romney doesn't have a substantial lead by 7:45 Eastern time, he'll lose everything in the Panhandle. Just ask Al Gore what the Florida Panhandle did to him.

[bayliving]

Thanks Traveler59.

I thought there was a valid reason why there wasn't any news getting out yet.

I just wish there was an insider there that could come HERE and post some news, either good or bad.

Heh! One of the funniest comments I’ve read all day.

[cotton1706]

You may be right. This is Florida, after all.

If Romney wins by only a few percentage points it’s not good for him.
