So after three years of toil by thousands of average everyday citizens who’ve sacrificed far more than they ever cared to, Florida supports John McCain yet again, just in a prettier package.
And just as in 2008, Florida will be the impetus that thrusts this better wrapped version identified as Mitt Romney one step closer to an eventual match up with Barack Obama.
There will be plenty of coverage breaking down the final numbers…

In the Weekly Republican Address, Florida Senator Marco Rubio explains the failures of the Obama administration.
He contrasts those with the promise of America that he and Republicans believe in, if the government stops doing the wrong things.

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.

With the South Carolina Republican primary effectively over in less than 24 hours, the circus now moves to Florida!
The Sunshine State will play a crucial role in determining the future direction of the Republican Presidential Primary race, with the candidates having 10 days to make their case to voters in the state. The following is a partial list of known candidate visits in Florida.

As if Mitt Romney’s ‘Charlie Crist’ problem were not bad enough, now Sen. John McCain is coming to Florida tomorrow and Friday to campaign on his behalf.
Yes, THAT John McCain!
For those undecided Republican voters who are trying hard to grasp that Romney may actually be a conservative, this should send them screaming in the opposite direction…

While campaigning at a local department store back in November, Mitt Romney is called out by an AP reporter after stating that he had no lobbyists tied to his campaign.
Romney said, “I don’t have lobbyists running my campaign, I don’t have lobbyists that are tied to my…(interupted by reporter)”
“That is not true..,” Glenn Johnson from the Associated Press called out from a front row seat.

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.
The latest offering started out as the Gingrich/Romney show, with the two going at it for the first 10 minutes or so…

Santorum has at least an outside chance of winning Florida on the 31st. Although heavily outspent, he won Iowa, tied Newt in New Hampshire and polled a respectable 17% in South Carolina.
Because of the obviously pivotal role that state played in stopping Romney’s momentum, voters who were leaning towards Santorum may well have voted for Newt because they didn’t want to…

Newt Gingrich has just made a race of the GOP presidential primary. With last night’s resounding victory in South Carolina, Newt has served notice that conservatives do indeed have an option to the ‘chosen one’, Mitt Romney.
And now it’s on to Florida where Romney is supposedly leading by double digits once again…
By Chuck Winn
Having several conservative candidates on the ballot going into Florida’s primary will not “split the opposition” and make a Romney nomination inevitable.
Florida’s block of 50 delegates comprise about 4.5% of the total of the 1150 needed for the Republican Presidential nomination. Therefore, Sunshine State conservatives must stand firmly behind their respective Presidential candidates…

Our founders deliberately did not establish a democracy, because in that form of government, the majority would always choke to death the desire for Liberty of a minority. Yet another point that Mrs. Ginsberg might be wise to share with Egypt instead of encouraging them to strive “to achieve a general democracy…”
The dichotomy of her praise and criticism of our founders and our Constitution shows that she is greatly misinformed of both…

Good bye Presidential hoopla we’ll see you in August.
But for now, let’s turn our thoughts to more pressing problems for Florida and the nation. Fasten your seat belts folks; it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
This won’t be a Tea Party vs the Establishment event, that’s just so 2010. No, this is a showcase for Agenders, Fair Taxers, Occupiers (well they don’t really vote do they”), and GOOOH’ers…

I am not a fan of this two-party system where your personal beliefs have to be compromised to one party platform or the other based on the lesser of two evils.
I am reminded of my own words of how Congress has become entrenched and regardless of party they are more concerned with the power and the prestige of office then in service to their country.

I remember the instant that the mood changed.
As my lens focused beyond the Washington Monument and upon the Capital Dome I recognized that I no longer felt proud of this city. I was embarrassed that under that dome sat men and women who first thought of themselves before they thought of their nation.
