Florida speeches and my thoughts.

Well, Mitt won Florida tonight, but from the speeches that were given, you'd wonder who won. Now Mitt gave his usual stump speech, the one that says we don't like Obama, we'll change everything to the way they were 10 years ago, and don't ask for details, I don't have any. Newt, on the other hand, went completely off the rail, saying what he'd do on his first day as President, and how he wouldn't play golf  3 or 4 times a year. There wasn't a coherent thought in the entire speech, other than to say he'd undo everything Obama has gotten passed. Santorum made a great speech, and after thanking everyone for their thoughts and prayers for his daughter, he seemed energized and excited to move on. And Ron Paul gave his usual ridiculous speech, but this time lying about the delegate count. And he somehow made his 7% sound like the will of the people. But as crazy as he sounds, there were things that made sense, especially to younger people. Bringing the troops home and keeping us out of war was the big thing. There wasn't a true loser, although with his speech, Newt did by far the worst while still coming in second. And the biggest winner again the President. Why? Well, out of almost 15,000 ads in Florida by the GOP candidates, only 8% were positive, and all the rest were negative. And after seeing all that I could, I realized that all the negative ads against the candidates were true, and there were so few positive ones because they have so little to say about themselves that's good. And the longer these ads go, the more the President is the winner.
