Despite the momentum Newt cannot win Florida

[cthulu2016]

When a cndidate makes a big move in the last hours of a primary, as Newt appears top have done in Florida, that momentum can translate into a surprise win. And if all balloting was happening tomorrow I'd give Newt a slim chance.

But early voting is big in Florida and Romney has a respectable cushion there.

It is possible that Newt may get the most primary-day votes but still lose the primary.

1. Florida is not South Carolina

Not even close. That is why Newt is going to lose.

2. As much as I would like to see a Romney upset...

I am glad Newt is having a hard time in Florida. It speaks to Florida still being one of the sane states.

3. If it's close when the counties in the eastern part of the state report figures after poll closing

It will swing in Noot's favor when the counties in the Central time zone close an hour later. I can't say that there's enough Gingrich support there to overcome a ten percent Romney lead when the Eastern time zone polls close, but I'm still holding on to my contention that Romney's not doing as well as the pollsters want us all to think he is.

4. If Newt doesn't win BIG in the North, it is over...

Those results will come early in the evening.

5. Hey, it's Florida. Depends on who's counting the votes, eh? nt
