Romney LEADS in New Poll - Florida

Guardian Live - Florida: Reports on a new Quinnipac University poll in Florida, in this Poll Governor Romney leads Speaker Gingrich, by 39% to 29%, a 9% lead. The vote is only a few days away folks, already Romney has a lead with those that voted early, thus it can be postulated that Florida is going to go for Romney. It seems that Speaker from the review of this blog and others did himself no favours in the debate, he had his chance and he blew it folks, Romney is the Man, he will be the Nominee.

Romney TAKES FIGHT TO Gingrich

Telegraph: Reports that Governor Romney had a good debate, taking on Speaker Gingrich, the article states the following on the Romney fight back, “ ..overpowered his rival during bitter disputes over immigration policy, personal finances and the former Speaker's proposal to build a colony on the moon. ” . On the whole former Senator Santorum won the debate, he didn’t get in the trenches and fight with Romney and Gingrich, but when you go in to the trenches Romney was on form, he bought a gun to knife fight. Thus if your in the Oval I would be worried, Romney just might be harder to beat, thus you want Gingrich as the nominee. Lets see the Polls over the weekend folks.

Florida Republican Debate - Republican Race

BBC News: Reports on the heated clash between Governor Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich when it comes to immigration, the former Speaker accused Romney of being anti immigration. This Debate folks was interesting, yes you had Gingrich and Romney going over old ground of immigration, Gingrich wanting people who have been the US illegally for years but have been productive in the community to be judged by their neighbours if they should stay, while Romney wants the law enforced and for workers to work legally in the US. It was old ground nothing new, what was interesting was the trench warfare of both candidates, while they were in the trenches it was up to Senator Santorum to take the fight to President Obama. Also this blog thinks that President Reagan was the greatest President of the later half the 20th Century, but to be honest this blog will postulate that he would not have much time for either Romney or Gingrich, Romney recalls President Ford, a moderate but a loser to Jimmy Carter in 1976, while Gingrich is the modern Barry Goldwater, a major loser to LBJ in 1964. Reagan would want a Conservative but with charisma, both Candidates have problems on that score.
