Florida Primary 31Jan2012 Thread

Romney quotes Thomas Paine? LOL
 
So as I figured going into SC....Newt would likely snatch one or the other, and with them both being winner take all (mostly at least) and being the first big ones with the thinned field then it'll position a long race between Romney and Newt with Paul constantly being the guy that's buzzing around both their heads and Santorum gone by the end of Super Tuesday if not before hand.
 
The GOP is in big trouble for the general election. Why? Numbers.

In 2008 the total GOP voter turn out was just over 1.9 million.

This year the total GOP voter turn out was less than 1.7 million voters.

This is after three years of Bobo, the Post Turtle, and an increase on Florida's total population. I opine if this is the best the GOP can do in a year when the GOP enthusiasm is suppose to be so high, they are in big trouble.

If it's true the Establishment wants Romney to win, I'm sure Santorum will get some help staying in the race, he's the notRomney dividing the votes with Gingrich. Seems like Santorum and Gingrich is already refocusing their attacks on each other.
 
On terms of economics, not the most conservative, but certainly conservative.

Paul is far and away the most conservative candidate in term of economics. It's not even close.
