Getting Ready for the Sunshine State

Newt, let's sit down and have a talk. I know that the demographic is different in Florida than South Carolina, but you won SC with your aggressiveness, don't give that up now.

I have to score last night's debate this way:
1)Santorum
2)Paul
3)Romney
4)Gingrich

Santorum was a very cool character last night. He stayed on point and attacked when needed, but was not attacked himself. Paul was, well, actually funny. I loved his performance, in fact he might be a 1a in this case. He won't finish anywhere but last in Florida, but he knows that is because of the electorate there. He is in it for the long haul. He will probably not win a single state, but he will carry enough delegates to wield some influence in the Republican National Convention. Whether it is being the keynote speaker, or actually pushing some of his ideas into the party's plan. I personally think there is no way that he runs as a third party. Why would you spend money to run in the Republican Primary, when : a) you know you are not going to win, and b) you are just going to run as a third party anyway? It wouldn't make business sense.

I think Gingrich really hurt his chances last night, lets just hope that it is close enough to the primary that it won't have an affect.
