Florida, and beyond

As I write this, cnn.com the following results in the Florida primary:

With 82% reporting
Romney: 763,848 46%
Gingrich: 524,741 32%
Santorum: 219,634 13%
Paul: 115,271 7%

Although much more positive outcome compared to the '08 election, still only good enough for a fourth place finish. Not bad for not having spent a dime in the state. More than doubled the numbers from last election.

I have a gut feeling that my boy Ron Paul will do much, MUCH better in the western states. After these losses in Florida for Santorum and Gingrich, I don't think they can hold out much longer. The gingrich campaign has already lowered their expectations regarding the western states, even though Newt has 'vowed' to be the GOP nominee. Santorum is just simply out of it.

In the west, sandly Romney will do better as well, considering the Mormon population in those states. I feel ROn Paul will do better on the left coast simply because his non-interventionist forign policy, as well as his stance on the war on drugs. Not to mention his fiscal policy.

By the way, I don't think Romney should ever attempt to carry a tune EVER again.
