Florida is a "must win" for Romney.

If Hillary is the Dem nominee, then I see a big turnout from the conservative base no matter the Repub nominee. If Obama is the nominee, I don't know what happens because he is not an alienating figure. I suspect all the excitement surrounding him will bring him into office no matter the Repub nominee. That scares me since it is so emotion based (Carolyne Kennedy endorses Obama yesterday because he makes her feel good--what's that all about?) and Obama is very inexperienced. I see it as a big gamble.

Campaigns are odd things, though. They turn on events which no one can predict.

Per the title of this thread, I think Romney needs to win Florida to be viable. I expected more after McCain's misrepresentations. It doesn't look like the Romney people have the killer instinct. His Mormon niceness is hurting him.

Full disclosure: McCain is out vehemently denying the John Fund report, according to Byron York.

Finally, I asked McCain if he had anything else to say. "It's distressing," he told me, "on the day before a primary that something like this should come up, because one, it's distracting, and two, I have done nothing but support these people."

I'm sympathetic, John. Maybe you should've thought of that before distorting what Romney said about timetables, eh?
