Scott Walker may skip Florida Primary.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest jping list.
Maybe I am wrong, but this tells me a few things...
First, Walker is betting on early states like IA and SC to carry him.
Second, as of now, he doesn’t have the resources to compete.
Third, I think is a mistake...a strong showing there would help him immensely.
Interesting tactics.
It makes sense.
If Walker still comes in near the top, it makes him look even stronger and he’ll still have money set aside to move forward.
Florida feasts on campaign money.
Not a good decision, in my opinion. Even if Wslker comes in third, it would benefit him.
I don’t think either Bush or Rubio is going to be the final candidate. They’re native sons here in Florida, so in a sense, you can almost discount the votes for them. But whoever comes in next after them will be very important.
The only candidate popular here in the last round was Newt Gingrich, but Mitt Romney (supported by Rush Limbaugh, who didn’t like Gingrich because he’d been divorced several times and had made money as an independent speaker ... er, unlike Rush, right????) stomped him into the ground with an ad barrage that you wouldn’t believe. The Gingrich campaign really wasn’t prepared for this, since the Romney “ad barrage” also included hiring people to go around ripping up Gingrich yard signs, which were very hard to get.
You’d have thought all of Florida loved Romney, but he was not popular here - however, what his campaign manager did was make it look as if he was enormously popular, and many people will then either vote for that candidate or not vote at all. And that’s what happened here.
So I think people like Walker and even Fiorina should at least try to keep a presence in Florida. If they can’t afford ads, they should distribute yard signs.
IMHO, he’s showing some political and financial genius!
The great state of Florida will be a shoot out with Jeb, Rubio and perhaps Ted Cruz, given his Cuban heritage.
not a good idea to skip any of them
