The latest Florida polling<\/a> shows Mitt Romney<\/a> in the top spot, 9 points over Newt Gingrich<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Dick Morris’ lunchtime video today<\/a> he opines that if Romney wins Florida it’s pretty much over for the others. \u00a0From a delegate standpoint that may be true, but given the way the race has shaped up so far I can see the other candidates hanging around through March.<\/p>\n

No matter what he does, Romney just can’t seem to seal the deal. \u00a0I don’t know anyone who is really excited about him, certainly not gun owners. \u00a0The NRA’s<\/a> “All In!<\/strong>” campaign to oust Obama<\/a> is going to fall flat unless the candidates make a serious pitch to gun owners. \u00a0Doing that, I think, will have to involve more than just vague assurances of better SCOTUS<\/a> nominees. \u00a0Something real<\/span> good needs to be put on the table.<\/p>\n
