Will Florida Finally Thin The GOP Field?

Share/Bookmark

After South Carolina, it may.

They claim there’s a four-way tie but that’s only reflected in one poll. The rest of the polls at RealClearPolitics only show a three-way tie between McCain, Romney, and Giuliani, in that order respectively.

However, these polls DO NOT reflect the sentiment following Thompson’s withdrawal from the race. His 7 or so points will head somewhere and could push any of the top three as the leader. I’m thinking it’s going to be Romney.

Then there’s this story from Yahoo!:

ORLANDO, Fla. – The aftermath of the South Carolina primary brought some measure of clarity to the muddled Republican presidential race.

Florida could well sort it out.

In the four days since they stumbled in the first-in-the-South primary, Fred Thompson dropped out and Mike Huckabee made clear that money is extremely tight, his campaign little more than a token effort. That leaves John McCain and Mitt Romney fighting it out while Rudy Giuliani, who has staked his candidacy on the state, trails in winner-take-all Florida as the focus shifts to the slumping economy.

Here’s my Florida semi-prediction. It’s either going to be Romney or McCain which emerge victorious. Right now, I’m leaning toward Romney because I think he’ll absorb many of Thompson’s supporters.

  1. It couldnt be anybody but Romney or McCain. Giuliani and Huckabee just quit South Carolina.

    I think McCain will take SC.

  3. It could be Ron Paul if you people stopped voting for politicians that are paid off by foreign interests!! He is the only honest candidate on that stage and the ONLY one that hasn’t flipped flopped on his voting record. Do the research before you vote.

  4. I did my homework. Thompson was my candidate.

    Sorry but I can’t vote for a president who wants to put his head in the sand and pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist.

  8. Romney will do the most for the nation! He is the one candidate who has the skills to truly create change in Washington. He is so committed to our liberties, states rights, individual rights, and a strong economy, we will all be better off if Romney is elected. Romney is willing to spend his own fortune to create a better America for all of us, especially for young people. Most of all he wants to create a better country, a better future, for his children and grandchildren. He is smart enough to realize that will only happen if it is a better America for every citizen.
