I.e it's pretty much a tossup and he doesn't have a strong opinion either way. The correct reading is that he actually didn't predict a winner for Florida. Of course the data just didn't allow a more confident prediction. But given the same amount of data a more confident prediction is more impressive than a less confident one (as long as it's actually turn out to be right). Both the vote share and probability of winning were close. Vote share: Running one last projection based on this AM's polls. Our projected margin in Florida now Obama 49.797, Romney 49.775. Source: I agree if it said that it was 95% it will be Obama 49.797, Romney 49.775, then it would be more impressive. But my point is that it was predicted to be very very close. | ||

Or as CNN mentionned, don't have 20 primary debates which can destroy your candidate since he had to take a more stern conservative voice, then go to the middle. That's just painted him a target. | ||

And Ron Paul doesn't translate outside of the internet sorry to say X_X Huntsman and Paul types have more trouble in the nomination process than the actual election process. The republican establishment is very hard to beat. They wanted Romney in, and bent over backwards to keep Paul uninvolved, even changing the rules at the last second to prevent him from being granted the delegates he won from 5 states by making the requirement for nomination be 7 states. | ||

He trailed Colbert because he's too moderate. Tim Pawlenty probably also would have won had he not gotten out of the race so early. Though there was no real way to predict that peopel would change there minds so many times on who they would vote for in that primary. | ||
