John McCain and Mitt Romney have been getting nasty in Florida as they go neck-and-neck in a seemingly two-way race in the state.
McCain attacked Romney in a brilliant political maneuver saying that he supported a timetable for getting out of Iraq, taking the focus off of the issue of the volatile economy, which is Romney's bread and butter issue.
By doing this, he has drawn Romney into a feud about national security and Iraq--issues where he thinks he is the stronger candidate.
Recent polls show that these two are virtually tied in Florida, and they are battling down to the last vote.
Florida governor Charlie Crist endorsed McCain last night, which can only help McCain in this tight contest, even if it only gets him a few more votes. It's that close.
Although Romney does not have the Florida establishment support, he has a seemingly infinite money supply to make things happen. He is the only candidate left on the Republican side to have substantial amounts of money going into Florida and Super Tuesday.
But all of that aside, I think that the Florida results will come down to the economy vs. national security. If the voters choose the economy as their top concern, Romney will win. If they think that national security and Iraq are more important, it'll be McCain.
