Or at least after Monday’s debate when Newt opens up a lead in Florida, too.
Newt’s got this! SC + FL = Newt’s very very very likely our nom.
Btw, 174,000 absentee ballots have been returned in Florida.
Plus 10,000 ballots at 5 county early voting sites.
Last election early voting was 14 days and it would have taken place this past week. It was changed to eight days for all counties except those five.
So you have 184,000 ballots returned out of 2 million. So about 9 percent have been returned.
If Florida had been like the last primary with 14 days you would have had more than 20 percent returned by now.
btw, the same Gallup poll also shows that as of now Obama beats both Romney and Gingrich by the same 50-48 margin. So much for the “only Romney can beat Obama” argument. I doubt you’ll hear anyone on FOX mention that tonight.
If Newt wins big tonight look for him to all of a sudden start to look a lot better vs Obama.
I’m paying attention to see if Jeb Bush still endorses Romney. If he doesn’t, it tells me the establishment has pulled the plug. I can only imagine the pressure on Rubio from them in the next few days.
