It is getting interesting.
Word on the ground and on the airwaves is that Newt’s crowds are dwarfing everybody’s. It has also been noted at FR.
However, Mitt seems to have a slight silent majority, according to most polls. It appears that this will be the first Primary state where, both because of its size and its diversity, turnout will genuinely make a difference. Can we get every panhandle vote? Can we convince enough Santorum backers in Florida to follow their candidate’s example and give up on just Florida, if not on the campaign as a whole, and join forces to beat Romney in the Sunshine State?
Newt needs to close hard, maximize turnout, and finish strong. We need to help anyway we can!
Do we have any boots on the ground who can tell us about the crowds yesterday and today? Where are the TEa Partiers down there?
Has the Tea Party Express come out for Newt? Is he on this bus tour? I thought he was.
The fact that Newt Gingrich -- a presidential candidate -- will attend this rally says all we need to know about him.
Go Newt!!
I believe the moderator, Mat Staver (Liberty Council, has endorsed Newt!
We picked Newt here in South Carolina so he gets the nomination.
This is all just fliff fluff—UNLESS Obama resigns in disgrace and appoints Sarah Palin as his successor.
But then Obama would have to cease being an evil Marxist demon sent by Lucifer to savage America—which ain't likely I reckon.
I live in WP!!! I’ll be there.
ANyone with an I pod that can report in from the site? If so make this a live thread.
Anybody who votes for either Rick of Ron in the Florida election is just insuring a Romney canadicy. There is zero value in either Rick or Ron in Florida. This is all or nothing election for 50 delegates up for grabs. Get a grip on this reality and vote for either Newt or Mitt. Don’t waste your vote on Rick or Ron. They have no chance of winning Florida and therefore will not benefit in winning any delegates. Thats why Rick and Ron pulled out and went home. All you hard core Rick and Paul supporters will be helping Mitt if you vote for your candidate in Florida. Help us stop Mitt in Florida and then you can go back to your guy in the succeeding elections.
CW, I am all set for you to run for office. Thx for all you do! Now. About Newt. Heard the $5 million extra never showed up, from the Vegas backer. Anyone know anything more about that? False report maybe, intended to demoralize?
Tweet from ABC imbed :
Guessing Newt’s tardiness to his 2:30 event will push back his forum appearance in Winter Park at 4. Newt’s the only candidate who’ll attend
second tweet:
More Santorum signs & volunteers than those for Newt @ Aloma Baptist Church in Winter Park. Santorum not attending the forum here, Newt is.
