The latest poll shows that Mitt Romney is slightly ahead in Florida at this point in time. “Romney gets the support of most of those voting on the economy and immigration, while McCain is backed by those most concerned about terrorism,” said Mason-Dixon managing director Brad Coker.

30% of Florida Republicans say they support the former Governor of Massachusetts, against 26% who support John McCain. Rudy Giuliani is in third place with only 18%.

If these trends continue, we’ll probably see Giuliani drop out Wednesday or something. A close second place finish would be, perhaps, acceptable for him, but a distant third? With all the money and energy he has put into Florida?

No, Florida is a race between two men, and at this moment most polls have Romney in the lead. If he beats McCain in Florida, he’s the instant frontrunner, especially if you combine that potential win with the knowledge that he’ll have enough money to compete in every single state on Super Tuesday (and beyond).

And for those who are wondering whether this poll is just off or something there’s this: Rasmussen also has Romney in the lead with 4%.  27% against 23%.

Hugh Hewitt summarizes: “There is still tremendous volatility in the electorate, and conservative voters wishing to end the attempt by MSM to jam down McCain’s nomination on an unwilling party could continue to move to Romney to block that result.”

We’ll see about that, but it’s certainly true that the media want the GOP to nominate McCain. Does the electorate have a different opinion?

    adawg Mitt is the man.  Why he is the man. 1. He is most organized and has the clearest  and most developed positions on the issues.  2. He is brilliant, a Harvard business and law school graduate at the top of his class. 3. He knows how to be loyal.   38 year marriage & great realtionship with his 5 sons.    4. He is a self-made multi-millionare.  A success story needs to run our nation.  5. He doesn't owe special interest groups favors.  6. He is the turn-around king.  His whole career has been about taking something that is in trouble and making it prosper.  7. He is a social conservative.   8. He has won the most states, most delegates, most votes so far.  9. He is an extremely hard worker and energetic.  He has gone from unknown to the frontrunner and beaten out most of the household names. 10. He is a very loving and compassionate man.  It would take one to raise 5 kids.    11. Because of his Mormon faith that man has never been drunk, smoked, done drugs. (healthy). Mormons give 10 percent of their income to their church--which gives lots of humanitarian aid. He was asked to be a bishop in a mormon church which involves willingly giving up almost all one's free-time to help others and is completely voluntary rather than a paid ministry.  While at the same time juggling a family of 7 and a very  demanding career.  So the guy can do a lot of things at the same time.  12. He has the breadth of experience needed to be successful as a president.  In the private sector, in the volutary sector, in the public sector.  GO Mitt I can't wait to see him win Florida and then steamroll into the White House.
