Forget the Snow, Think Florida Sun

By Jennifer Rubin on 1.15.08 @ 10:19AM

Team Rudy is likely busting its buttons over Newt Gingrich -- now they can quote him instead of George Will -- sounding like he's in a Rudy ad on the Today Show. Think about this: in 5 days the only primary that counts will be Florida. Right now the RCP averages have it as a tie between McCain and Rudy which is remarkable considering who has been winning and who has been declared DOA by the pundits. If McCain sweeps Michigan and SC it'll be tough for Rudy --or anyone-- to hold back the McCain wave. If not, Rudy has his shot, just like everyone else. One more thing: immigration is not the hot button issue in Florida that it has been in primary states up to now. (Remember the Univision debate?) So expect to hear lots and lots of praise for legal immigration and lots less "send them home to get in line" as soon as SC is behind us. Hey, if you can go from fiscal conservatism to government industrial planner to win Michigan you can certainly "soften the edges" on immigration to win Florida, right?
