Florida

Mitt Romney pulled off a win last night by getting overwhelming vote totals in heavily Democratic Broward and Dade Counties. 

This came on the heels of his incredible ad blitz campaign where he out spent all the other candidates put together.  His ads turned out to be about 90% negative, and heavily funded by Wall Street banks like Goldman Sachs and other bailout recipients. 

He still doesn't have a message.  Conservatives won't forget how despicable this was, and all the lies he told.  He can't inspire people to vote for him, because he is running as the generic status quo candidate, and if he went into specifics, that could be used to pressure him into actually trying later.  At this point, the only thing he can do is completely overwhelm his opponents with lies and distortions. 

This becomes evident when you look at the polls.  Every time Mitt wins, or comes close, voter turnout is way down.  Any time people think Mitt has it wrapped up, most people stay home.  He doesn't have any enthusiasm.  People don't get enthusiastic or inspired by negative messages.  On the other hand, when Newt won South Carolina, turnout was huge!!!  People came out in droves to vote for a positive message about what America once was, and what it could once again be.  This is the kind of voter action that is needed to win elections.  This is the kind of message that is needed!! 

Mitt is a weak candidate.  His lack of core convictions, and lack of a message prevents people from getting behind him, and his negative attacks turns people off.  He only won FL by having a 5 to 1 ad advantage.  We all know that he will not have anything like that kind of advantage going up against Obama's $1 billion dollar campaign complete with complicit media drones.  The GOP Establishment is leading us down the road to another 2008, 2006, 1996 etc. etc etc.   The hope is that Obama has been such a spectacularly horrible president that the American people will just let Mitt president for awhile instead.  This is a false hope.  Obama has built his power on the Democratic legacy of buying votes and support thru government giveaways and crony capitalism.  This hasn't changed, and these people won't back off.  Mitt is trying to offer them more of the same.  Why would they take that when they already have the guy they want?
