Romney has good news and Rudy bad news from a SC poll. In Florida the latest poll, as Phil points out, has Rudy up 21 pts and his RCP average lead over 16 pts.

NRO offers the advice many of us have to Romney on immigration-- stay away from the sanctuary city argument which allows Rudy to explain that he was encouraging illegals to report crimes. Especially now when the crime issue has been reintroduced this seems like wise advice. Indeed, Rudy may now wants to point out that Romney's criticism was misplaced and reflects poorly on the judgment of his rival.

Meanwhile the battle of the records goes on with Rudy circulating this story which says: "The study, released today by the Massachusetts Institute for a New Economy, or MassINC, finds Massachusetts is still far from recovering the jobs lost in the recession that began in 2001. Six years later, the state still has 100,000 jobs to go." (Rudy surrogates are holding a press conference in Boston today likely to taunt Romney about this.)
