Did not see it posted yet, here we go folks!

Well, Florida does have the second highest foreclosure rate (Nevada is first I think and my State, Mich is third) and Fla prop prices are down 15% Y over Y. Down there I think it will get much worse as the snowbirds cut back on owning two, or more, houses.

Here in Mich it IS really bad, empty houses everywhere and I live in very upscale Bloomfield Hills.

To the extent ANY President can impact the economy, Romney is the clear choice.

you say they are cheating....got a link for that?

The Romney above image was updated from the previous posting to add Toensing, Cheney, and Keene.

"Yeah—Mitt seems to be our only hope—and that saddens me."

You play with the team you have. McInsane has to be stopped, and the Socialists have to be stopped.

Go Mitt!

[Moral Hazard]

Mitt Romney wins by 4%. The Mason Dixon poll may be a few days old, but they are the best in the business and that was their result.

[LexBaird]

7pm IIRC

In which time zone? ;^)

[westmichman]

Mitt, by 5.

I’ll see your 5 and raise you .6. A 5.6% Romney win.

Up on Drudge:

Primary day begins in South Florida; Independents Voting For McCain?

[lonevoice]

If Romney gets the nomination, I’m pretty sure Jim DeMint will be it. He is a rock-solid Southern conservative and he’s been with Romney’s campaign from the very beginning.

I've noticed several posts floating the prospect of DeMint being Romney's running mate. I didn't know much about him before this, so here are some links you might be interested in. It looks like DeMint would fill in the gaps well for Romney.

Medved then came on & said that Romney has never vied for repealing McCain-Feingold...

I cannot speak to the other thoughts, but Romney has written a good critique of the Anti-First Amendment McLame Travesty:

Fundamentel Flaws of McCain-Feingold by Mitt Romney, published at townhall.com

[devere]

I was predicting a Thompson/Romney ticket, but I will now be delighted to settle for Romney/Thompson. First McCain has to be stopped, and that will not be easy.

"Medved then came on & said that Romney has never vied for repealing McCain-Feingold."

I've heard Romney call for a repeal of McCain-Feingold many times.

I thhink they close at 7 P.M. Eastern Time in the East part of the state and the Panhandle closes at 8 P.M. EST. - Two Time Zones

If McCain is close in Naples, Romney has a problem.

Naples is in Collier County, and Collier County is one of only two counties in Florida that voted for Katherine Harris over Bill Nelson in 2006.

Bush got nearly 70% of the vote here in 2000 and 2004.

My informal poll of people I have talked to in Naples has Romney winning about 20:1 over McCain.

The only people not voting for Romney are the registered Democrats that I have talked to.

I haven’t spoken with a single McCain supporter yet.

[icwhatudo]

7pm EST which makes it close 8pm est in Panama City and panhandle.

[westmichman]

Nice picture Pro. I saved that one.

[Jane Austen]

Yep, McCain has to be stopped. I totally fail to see what possible appeal he has to Republicans. He is creepy and in poor health. The other week he had to be helped by his wife when he deplaned. He walks like somebody who is ill. His mental state is not stable. His amnesty was hugely unpopular.
