If we lose Florida, or Ohio, or Virginia, or Missouri, we lose the whole thing.

We lost all of them one year ago this month.

The election is one year away. There has not even been a campaign. That said, let me disagree with this poll. This poll of 500 RVs shows Hillary Clinton, a Northern Democrat, beating Fred Thompson, a Republican and a southerner, by 10 points.

This in itself is antihistorical and therefore ludicrous. No Northern Democrat has won Florida since 1944. This poll tells me that the most liberal candidate ever nominated by the Democrats is going to break that streak this year in a 10 point landslide and against a southerner born in neighboring Alabama and raised in Tennessee. That is so patently ridiculous that it does not pass the giggle test.

Anyone familiar with Florida knows that the panhandle and the I-4 corridor are the keys to the state. Both are very conservative. Hillary Clinton may not get 4 votes in the entire panhandle. She won’t do much better along the I-4 corridor. And even a large majority out of Miami Dade will not be enough to make up these huge deficits.

Giuliani and Romney will have problems because they are not southerners and will have no natural connection to the natives. Giuliani especially will have problems because the gun owners, who are very strong may go hunting or vote for a third party. Mark my words. Fred is the only candidate who can most certainly keep Florida in the GOP column.
