Newt Gingrich is coming off a big win in South Carolina and Mitt Romney is hoping to do better in Florida. Looking at reader comments about Florida, we saw many posts alluding to Gingrich taking the offensive role in campaign strategy. Some readers also said Romney has been put on the defensive, citing the South Carolina debates as big influences.

Romney hopes to gain momentum in Florida

One reader said Gingrich is looking more and more like the natural GOP choice.

TGrade1: "Recent polls show Gingrich leading in Florida. I'm not surprised that Mr. Gingrich is leading in Florida. South Carolina has opened the eyes of the electorate to two things: the fact that Mr. Romney doesn't have a record to run on and Mr. Gingrich does. Congress controls the purse. The last time we had a balanced budget Mr. Gingrich was in charge. He was also able to work with a Democrat president for welfare reform. He is the author of the Contract with America and the 21st Century Contract With America. He is the man who brought Republicans to the majority after forty years of Democrat rule. (No wonder he has enemies!) Mitt Romney, on the other hand, can't run against Obamacare because of Romneycare, and he will be painted as a $250,000,000 man who made his money wrecking companies and leaving a trail of broken lives in his wake, a man to whom $374,000 in speaking fees 'isn't very much money.' Obama will show the picture of Romney with $100 bills hanging out of his pockets, he will talk about how Romney has paid a lower percentage in taxes than most Americans, and Romney will be toast. Newt Gingrich has command of the big picture and the minutiae of pretty much every topic and he will shred Obama in a debate. I think Gingrich will and should be the nominee."

This commenter said it would be difficult for Romney to succeed, or any other candidate for that matter. They also said the media better watch out.

civility1: "The fact that we are going into the fourth contest (Florida) with no predictable outcome is a testament to the slate of candidates. Basically, voters don't like any of them in and of themselves and it is pretty obvious. I think they also don't like the Republican establishments and the media trying to ram the rich white guy candidate down their throats. They see thru that stuff. If they keep this up, most moderate Republicans will easily return President Obama for a second term, since he will be a 'known' in November and reliably predictable, v. the others. He should also accomplish more in his 2nd Term since we have gotten used to him, and Congress will have to start supporting him if they want to kee their jobs. None of the four GOP candidates seem 'Presidential' material at this late date. All they seem to care about is a chance at taking on our existing President on issues that are not all that consequential to the Executive. I don't see the rest of the world respecting any of these guys except maybe Paul since he is a doctor - a member of the 'helping profession' (that's helping others, folks, not helping himself on our backs...). The media needs to be careful here as I see some storm clouds on the horizon for them."

Much chatter could also be found on a story about Romney's strategy going into the Florida race.
