In Florida, 36 percent of Republicans support Mitt Romney, while 24 percent back Newt Gingrich and 16 percent support Rick Santorum, according to a new poll by Quinnipiac University. That said, 54 percent of voters say they might change their minds. Gingrich, the erstwhile frontrunner in the Sunshine State, now ties Romney in support among tea partiers, with 32 percent each. “The race is closer among white evangelical Christians,” according to the press release, “Romney gets 28 percent to Gingrich’s 26 percent, with 20 percent for Santorum.” Read more here.
So much for "Mr. 20%".
The "weak frontrunner" is leading all comers by at least 12-points.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI love how the anti-Romney stooges including Rich Lowry continue to insist that he is a "weak frontrunner."
Why that Romney is so "weak" that he is dominating every other candidate not only in New Hampshire, but South Carolina and Florida too!
The anti-Romney brigade, (the sorriest team since the Washington Generals were getting slapped around by the Harlem Globe Trotters), will be insisting that Romney is "weak" as he takes the oath of office at 12pm on 1/20/13.

And I want to see the Romneybots prove that he isn't, when there's so much evidence to the contrary. He's chased office for two decades, and won ONCE. No one likes Mitt Romney. People are settling for Mitt Romney. That's a big difference. Mitt Romney will lose, and if there's one nice thing that comes out of 2012, it'll be that after Barack Obama blows him out of the water, we won't have to hear the Romneybots anymore. They'll be on the ash heap of history along with the people that told us Bob Dole and John McCain were winners.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseIt's just amazing what's become of the Tea Party. They're about to nominate the architect of Obamacare to the presidency. Has any movement in history ever proven itself so inconsequential as this? (well, other than Occupy)
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseHow is Romney pronounced? I noticed on Fox News that Dick Morris seems to pronounce the name more like "RUM-nee" and not "ROM-nee".
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI live in Sarasota and the Mitt Romney ads have already started. I haven't seen ads by any other candidates.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseThe interesting thing about that poll is that Romney (36%) is within spitting distance of the combined numbers of Newt and Santorum (40%). I believe Perry has about 5% right now. This is too simplistic, but if one of the other candidates drops out the "not Romney" candidate would have to pick up almost every vote to edge him. If Romney wins NH and SC, I think the analysis would hold but he's probably going to take a lot more body blows between now and then. Certainly good news for him and it certainly seems to provide incentive for the "not Romney" candidates to work together to soften him up.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseHey wait a minute... what happened to Romney not being able to break 25%? Now hes doing it by a significant number in NH and SC!
