One More Time ~ Florida ~ that's the place where their minds were devastated by the Butterfly Ballot.
I seriously doubt they are going to be able to give us a judgment on the candidates that anyone should trust to guide voters in other states.
You have a good point, but as long as Romney loses to Newt. Then it is on to the next states where the Republican voters will begin to see that Newt has what it takes to beat Mitt.
What is extremely heartening, is that Gingrich is not only on the verge of defeating Romney a second time, he would have done so in the first two Southern states. After the way McCain defeated Romeny in the South in 2008, Mitt knows he needs to prove he can win in the South.
Regardless of the talk that Florida is actually the most Southern of the Northern States, because of the retirement crowd, it is still geographically a Southern State. The psychological impact to Romney's campaign will be devastating. That is why Mitt spent over $20 million in Florida, and used manipulated television adds that reminds everyone of the Democrats "Wither on the vine" adds. He needs to win Florida, if he does not HE IS FINISHED!
Think about it, if Newt wins Florida after he won big in SC, it will prove to the rest of the voters, that even if the party establishment thinks otherwise, that Newt can and will beat Obama's billion dollar slime assault.
You know what the Beetles said,
"Money can't me love". The voters have no love for Romney nor Obama, and all the money in the world cannot buy it from those who truly despise them.
