It is only fitting that the mudslinging now coming out of the Mitt Romney camp is occurring here in Florida. When it comes to dirty politics, the Sunshine State stands in a class all it’s own.
Yet, desperate times call for desperate measures and fortunately for Romney, his chief campaign strategist and several of his most senior campaign staff were Charlie Crist’s top political advisers who are ever so familiar with the political turf here in Florida.
As I said at the first Tea Party convention two years ago, I am in favor of contested primaries and healthy, pointed debate. They help focus candidates and the electorate. I have fought in tough and heated contested primaries myself.
But what we have seen in Florida this week is beyond the pale. It was unprecedented in GOP primaries. I’ve seen it before – heck, I lived it before – but not in a GOP primary race.

What we saw with this ridiculous opposition dump on Newt was nothing short of Stalin-esque rewriting of history. It was Alinsky tactics at their worst. ~ Sarah Palin

Newt’s momentum out of South Carolina has stalled, making Florida a close, fiercely contested two-way contest.
Rick Santorum, an attractive, viable candidate, is an extreme long shot for even second place. A vote for Rick will probably give the state to Romney and mortally wound Newt who will still finish a strong second.

Helga is the proprietor of a bar. She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar.
To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later.

As Barack Obama prepares for another speech we the people already know the state of our union. We know it from talking with our friends and neighbors about their struggles to find work and keep their businesses alive. Florida taxpayers are in a “survival mode” and have been since the day Obama took office.
Clearly not all of this is Obama’s fault…

For those who did not tune in to last night’s GOP Presidential Primary Debate, you didn’t miss very much.
Heard repeatedly on various social media sites was that this debate, a product of NBC, was the worst yet – which is saying a lot when you consider there have now been 18 debates.
