Romney Holds Small Edge in Florida
A new CNN-Time poll in Florida finds Mitt Romney leading with 36%, followed by Newt Gingrich at 34%, Rick Santorum at 11% and Ron Paul at 9%.
Key findings: "Romney leads Gingrich among female and white voters, voters over 50, and those with a college degree... Gingrich holds leads among men, Tea Party voters, self-identified conservatives -- among whom he boasts a 10-point advantage -- and born-again Christians. His fans also appear to be more committed than Romney's."

If Santorum would drop out it would be Newt in a runaway.

(54,047 posts)They'll get 45% of the vote because ANY Republican ticket will get 45% of the vote, even if their ticket
is headed by Charles Manson and the Dread Dormammu. But if Romney/Santorum is the best they can
come up with, all the Kochs' money and all the Kochs' men can't put the Republicans in the White House again.

(54,047 posts)Get the DNC so caught up in Obama's re-election, which they take as a forgone conclusion,
and work on secretly pouring so much money into Senate races that they might have a chance
to overwhelm us there.

Why, when all those LDS friends of Mitt's, bring all their multiple wives out to vote, it will be a landslide.(provided those ladies are old enough to vote)
I think NEWT is a LDS at heart too!
