This makes me sick. Does the 41% want to save the country or not?
Yeah, this is not good news to start the day.
Rasmussen’s FL poll is showing that the only way for a not-Romney candidate to pull ahead of Romney in FL would be to combine the votes of Newt, Santorum, Perry, and the undecideds, and get them all to agree on the same candidate. Either that, or Romney would have to take a huge fall due to some major gaffe or scandal, and I don’t think that’s going to happen.
John Bolton’s endorsement and the DeMint advisors tipping their hand towards him have certainly helped Romney. If Romney wins in SC, and Jeb Bush endorses him before FL, I think we’re gonna get rolled. If Rasmussen’s FL polling is anywhere close to accurate, it would take something crazy to pull out a win in FL for Gingrich (or any other not-Romney). The not-Romney would have to win SC fairly decisively. Assuring that would take something as dramatic as a Sarah Palin endorsement before the SC vote (not going to happen). Then, to counter a Jeb Bush endorsement for Romney going into FL, Marco Rubio would have to endorse the not-Romney before the FL vote (not going to happen).
We’re just going to have to hope that the Rasmussen poll is waaaaay off, and/or that something totally unexpected and unforeseen happens to the Romney campaign in the next two weeks.
