Primary Justice

Remember when Florida broke all the rules and bumped up their primary, causing New Hampshire to have to consider a December date, which no one wanted and which everyone worked like crazy not to happen?

Everyone, of course, except Mitt Romney, who did nothing, because it was in his interest to have New Hampshire and Florida go quickly so he could dispatch with this nomination unpleasantness and get on with the general election.

Actually, that's not fair. He did do something. He worked to make the situation even worse by pushing Nevada to bump up earlier in response to Florida:

But Romney's people were pushing for us to move into January so that he could get some momentum and have a rising tide going into Florida."
In other news, Romney is now neck and neck in Florida with Professor Gingrich in one poll, and behind by a lot.

Bill Gardner 1, Mitt Romney 0.

(find me > 140 on birch paper; on Twitter < 140)

Florida (0.00 / 0)
Cirque du SoleilĀ® Orlando-La Nouba is a much better show than the Republican Clown Car Dog and Pony Circus.  It's the only reason I can think of to go to Florida.

Disney World (0.00 / 0)
There's my reason.
