Nobody should be nominated without a plan to solve that equation.
This post is a dead repeat of a prior post (yours?) and that one was answered as well.
Florida will vote for Hillary! when pigs fly, period.
Ohio, unlike Florida, is turning more blue, and I do not know if any GOP candidate can win there.

Bob Taft destroyed the voterbase in Ohio with his taxing the crap out of 'em, and Voinovich/DeWhiner (prototype RINO's) further alienated the voters. That's what allowed Socialist Sherrod Browne to win (defeating Dewine easily, largely due to Dewhine's joining the defectors to the "Gang of 14" during the Alito confirmation hearings).
Ohio now is inhabited by entitlements' receivers and moonbats, and we have ACORN packing the vote for the Dim's.
Thompson has appeal to the guy-on-the-street and joe six-pack types, and might have a chance to at least make a run at it (winning Ohio).
Beyond Thompson's broad appeal as a guy-next-door, there's no one else that could win Ohio back in the current crop of Republican candidates, IMHO.
