Romney so far hasn’t been able to get anyone to vote for him who didn’t vote for him back in 2008.
He was within 30 votes of his total in Iowa too. This is why Park’s projection was so far off. Romney = Romney.
The McCain votes are all over the map this year. Santorum has almost all the Huckabee votes (which is good for him), and Gingrich has some Huckabee, some Thompson, some McCain.
What this means, going past NH, is that he’s vulnerable everywhere. Iowa showed this. NH is about his best state.
The problem is consolidating folks to run against him. Right now, that gives us the choice between Newt and Santorum.
I personally think that Santorum is stronger, but that’s going to be up to South Carolina, which is going to settle that battle.
The question is this how the senior crowd in FLA thinks..
Will they look at him as the Skinny Catholic kid of Italian decent from PA with the nice family...
Or will they go much deeper into his ideology.
Or refer to my 1st description and "like" him ( he does seem more likeable the more I look into him ) and potentially more so in the fall against Obama?
South Carolina is an Open Primary
Florida is a Closed Primary
