Subsequent polls should continue to tighten.  Tonight’s MSNBC sponsored GOP debate will prove interesting because of the bad blood that exists between Romney and McCain.  I expect fireworks as Romney continues to pound away at his “Washington is Broken” message and ties McCain to the brokenness.  Huckabee will be looking to speak to the Super Tuesday voters tonight as well as in the CNN sponsored California debate coming up next week.  Right now, I’m pretty comfortable with the tentative predictions I made in an earlier post this week about how Florida will play out.  I’ll finalize those predictions this weekend once the debate has happened and a few more days of polling data come in.  One thing to keep in mind is that Florida is an early voting state and a number of voters have already cast ballots.  Rudy has camped out in Florida and is competing for the same pool of moderate GOP voters as McCain.  Is it possible that Rudy siphoned enough of those voters off during the early voting period as to make the polls showing McCain leading a bit inaccurate?  We’ll see.

BTW, thanks to everyone who responded and commented on my previous posting.  We’re all hoping for a Huckabee victory in Florida and on Super Tuesday, but we also are faced with making serious decisions if that does not occur.  Who among the GOP candidates could you support if Huckabee fails to win the nomination?  Leave a comment or email me with your answer and why to: christfollowerblog [at] gmail [dot] com

  2. Hello - just a suggestion to support Ron Paul also, not just Huckabee, he is a conservative, pro-life Christian, with impeccable moral standards!
