Florida's 10-Day Political Hurricane


Some of Hugh Hewitt's Florida thoughts:

There is no front-runner, and there is no "momentum" though Romney has three state wins, McCain two and Huck one. What is said and done by the candidates over the next few days will decide Florida and nothing else. Even as they focus on this confused picture, the issues dominating the debate are changing rapidly to elevate the economy over immigration and the war. That has to favor Romney, and McCain is still burdened by the antipathy of many Reagan conservatives.

True. True. Talk the economy and other real issues and Romney walks away with gold.

If the Florida electorate reflects the general opinion of Republicans who have voted thus far, Romney will win in the Sunshine State.

This Florida election is open only to Republicans, so we won't see the Dems or Independents rushing to McCain's aid.


The GOP is at a crossroads, and because it is, so is the country. In ten days, Florida Republicans will have a huge say in setting its course for the next decade, and Florida's Reagan Republicans the most decisive say of all.
