Borderline politics - How to deal with immigration remains a decisive issue for Republicans in today’s Florida primary

In Florida today, the Republicans hold their latest primary and there are four viable candidates. Opinion polls suggest former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and Senator John McCain are in a tight contest, while Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee trail behind.

So what will make the difference in Florida? People vote in primaries for three reasons: to promote their core ideological perspective; when the choice of candidate makes a difference; and when their vote matters in a tight race. All three apply to the current primaries. There is a palpable sense that America has arrived at a fork in the political path and the nomination remains wide open. This explains both the record turnouts and, perhaps, why the results have been so difficult to predict.”*
