Republicans Fight in Florida

repubs.jpg 1/24/08 -- Posted by Catherine Morgan

In just a few days, Florida will have it's controversial primary. And so far, no Democrats are in Florida. The Republicans, on the other hand, are all over.
The three Republicans are canvassing the vast and diverse state in the six days leading up to Tuesday's primary, running TV ads and targeting areas where they believe they can pick up the most votes.

Florida is different than previous contests: Only registered Republicans can vote in the primary, the state offers the winner a hefty 57 delegates to the GOP convention and it serves as a gateway to the Feb. 5 de facto national primary day when some two dozen states vote.
Among the big Florida unknowns: whether Republican Gov. Charlie Crist will endorse, and the impact of absentee voters who can comprise up to 30 percent of the vote.

Even though Rudy Giuliani has been here for much longer than any other candidate, polls have still been showing Florida to be very close. Although, the Giuliani camp can't be too happy with the results of the first poll taken since Thompson has dropped out of the race.
Romney and McCain Take Lead in FL
PRESIDENT - FLORIDA
Romney 28%
McCain 25%
Giuliani 19%
Huckabee 15%
Paul 5%

But...It's not over yet. We all now (hopefully) know better than to trust the polls. Right?
