Florida is breaking for Mitt

Two new polls have Mitt Romney leading Newt Gingrich in Florida by eight and nine points, respectively.

With three days before the primary, the wheels seem to be falling off the former House speaker's campaign. Florida is followed by a series of primaries in which Romney will be heavily favored. For the second time this year, the Gingrich campaign has risen from the depths to the heights, only to fall back again into the depths.

Mitt seems to have turned things around by arguing that he's a self-made man who made his fortune through hard work and savvy investment, and refuses to apologize for it. Florida Republicans- briefly distracted by Newt's debating ability and all the attention given Romney's success in minimizing his income  tax liability- are eating it up.

I'm going to revise my prediction. I think it will be Mitt by eight points. That seems to be the number most of the recent polls are clustering around.
