Florida, a vital early state like SC, is also starting to trend poorly for Fred. Interestingly, Huckabee's rise coincides with Fred's decline.
Mitt? He's still riding the escalator up.
Florida is not the “South” per se. Not really.
But it’s good to see Mitt making some headway there. I have a hard time seeing anyone win FL but Rud911 - though I can hope.
There’s about 2,000,000 ex-New Yorkers in FL.
BTW - Bush 41 once ridiculed Reagan’s Primary campaign as “splintered, disorganized, and starved.” Amiability can go a long way....
All I’m saying is, especially with the South under-polled, don’t start digging Fred Thompson’s grave just yet.
FWIW - I have seen Romney’s organization first-hand; it is HUGE and MOTIVATED. If organization can win this thing, it won’t even be CLOSE.
