Corporate media continues to push inevitability of Mitt narrative
First, South Carolina was supposed to be so important. But let's watch this become the corporate media narrative if Mitt wins close against Newt, or Newt outright defeats Mitt in the primary election in that state today.
As I have posted before, the elite corporate media wants to create an inevitability of Mitt theme--but religious working class voters in the GOP are not buying it. They will forgive a cretinous grifter like Newt just to sock it to the even more rich guy, Mitt Romney, who has no clue about how they live.
The way Mitt has so poorly handled his refusal to release his taxes, the mantra of "Mitt is the only one who can beat Obama" is falling apart as an effective rationale for Republican voters. That undermines, perhaps fatally, the inevitability of Mitt narrative.
Mitt should win in Florida, as he gets the votes from Country Club Republicans, Well Off Retiree Republicans and the always interesting Republican Jewish vote. Watch for corporate media to say, "Gee, look at Florida! It's more diverse!" As if the Republican primary voters in Florida are really "America."
As Daffy Duck would say...

Fair points, but Florida Republicans are more like Republicans in America than are those in South Carolina.
Still, Romney's shellacking was consistent across all but the top income group, so if he can't change the dynamic in ten days, he is indeed in serious trouble. And your reasons are as good as any others I have seen given.
He's got the money to change the dynamic, of course. But it's all just potential till the votes are cast (as in fact many have been already in Florida).
