Obama’s Adversary

Mitt Romney is the Republican candidate with a better chance to gain victory over Barack Obama in November. Not only do the polls illustrate this, but so do the Republican voters at the primaries in Florida. That was the main reason for his victory, along with the economic situation which also favors the ex-governor of Massachusetts, who has had a 14-point lead over his closest opponent, the radical Newt Gingrich. In presidential polls, Newt Gingrich is 12 points behind Obama and Romney is only four points behind.

The race for the Republican nomination could still be lengthy, despite the result in Florida; however, it is almost certain that the race will consist of two candidates. If we add up the last three caucuses and primaries, only 5 percent of the representatives of the Republican convention have been accounted for. Super Tuesday is on March 6, and 46 states still remain that could create a division even though this is not for sure. Florida, a highly sought out state in any case, is a strong indicator because it could fall to either Republicans or Democrats. It is also quite representative of society as a whole in the United States.

Romney has had a good outcome in all sectors and has gathered many voters, including Hispanic Republican voters and white evangelicals. Moreover, the radical tea party followers, who could represent two-thirds of the Republican vote in that state, have divided themselves between both candidates.

Gingrich’s solid argument is that Romney has not shown himself as a “true conservative,” instead as a moderate; this time around it did not matter whether he was rich, paid few taxes or that his position was unclear on certain issues.

At the present time, Romney has gathered more money for his campaign than his immediate opponent — which is very important — especially in light of the negative publicity that has reigned in the political scene in Florida.

Romney wants to benefit from the hatred of many Republicans toward Obama. Rather than concentrating on the Republican primaries, essentially his first words after his victory in Florida were an attack the president’s economic policy, something that Romney sees as a loss of global strength for the U.S.

Noteworthy, the Secret Service has provided Romney with a bodyguard, but no one else.
