Florida bound
Even with a few wins and losses tallied in the presidential primaries and caucuses, most folks remain confused as to who's in the lead. For better or worse, Utah's attention is focused on Mitt Romney, the closest thing we have to a native son in the race.
Maybe Florida's primary Jan. 29 will say something we all can understand. Mitt, seems to think so. He is pouring a fortune, including Spanish-language TV ads, into denying McCain a victory there. And finally, Rudy Giuliani will show up to duke it out.
"All the candidates are playing there, and it really is going to be the last opportunity for national attention for a single victory," said Romney's senior advisor Alex Castellanos.
Meanwhile, Mitt may have finally gotten ahead of the buzz from his ugly clash on video with an Associated Press reporter in South Carolina. The reporter challenged Mitt's statement that lobbyists don't run his campaign — even though he has about a dozen lobbyists as key advisors.
Romney told "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno reporters have it tough and he even acknowledged they have a responsibility to be adversarial.
"We don't treat them real well," Romney said. "We put them in the back of the aircraft. We feed them lousy food. We wake them up early in the morning to go to events ... we don't give them chairs to sit on, either. So they have a tough go of it, but they're doing their job."
