All eyes will be on the sunshine state on January 29th when it plays an historical and unprecedented role in choosing the nominee for the Republican party, and perhaps the 44th President of the United States.
Currently, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, and Mitt Romney are leading in the state according to various polls. Here are some scenarios:
John McCain:
Should McCain win in Florida, it would take a sizeable force to steal the nomination from him; however Mitt Romney is leading in delegate counts and may be able to pick off many more on February 5th even without a win in Florida. A McCain loss keeps the GOP race wide open.
Rudy Giuliani:
If Rudy loses Florida, he is done. Period.
He has spent millions upon millions in the state and has basically lived there for weeks, shaking thousands of hands while the other candidates have been focused on other early contests.
Mitt Romney:
Should Romney be able to build on his momentum from victories in Michigan and Nevada and win in Florida, he will likely become the Republican nominee and will rise as the alternative for the “Conservatives Against McCain” group (quite a large one, actually). A strong showing in Florida (2nd, or close 3rd) is all Romney really needs to remain a viable candidate through Super Tuesday.
