In Florida, MSM finaly catching on

Wow, could it be that there is finally a chance of the MSM actually giving Mitt a break? I was reading the Liz Sidoti's analysis of Florida, and of the three possible winners in her AP write up, it looks like they're giving Romney the best odds for the nomination!

Here's the section of interest...

_ROMNEY:
The former Massachusetts governor won hard-fought Michigan as well as scarcely contested Wyoming and Nevada. He found a message that works — fixing the economy — and he's sticking to it, hammering his credentials in TV ads and at campaign events. That could give him an edge among Florida's significant elderly population concerned about retirement accounts and investments.

Romney's personal wealth gives him a significant advantage over his rivals. He's running heavy levels of ads most everywhere — and he has money to spare — as he courts economic conservatives and seeks to peel off Thompson and Huckabee supporters.

Because of his money, Romney wouldn't be dead if he doesn't win Florida. He could live another week to compete on Feb. 5. A win would make him hard to beat.

Now normally I'd complain about their focus on Mitt's money, and if this article didn't focus on how bad the other candidates are doing with campaign funds it would really be a point to dispute. Mitt is getting plenty of donations and thanks to your support he's the only candidate in a position to run a truly national campaign!
