Is Mitt surging in Florida?

This is on the front page of the Drudge Report:

FLASH: RASMUSSEN Florida poll to be released: Romney 25, McCain 20, Giuliani 19... Developing...

If this represents a real trend then the news is good indeed.

Other than Thompson (who probably won't be in the race much longer) Romney is the only man in the Republican race who won't wreck the Republican Party.

Perhaps Florida veterans have realized that however much they respect McCain that without a functioning conservative Republican Party that the American military will be reduced to little more than a palace guard like it is in much of Western Europe.

Perhaps Florida's Evangelicals have realized that however much they think that Huckabee shares their values that without a functioning conservative Republican Party not only will Roe vs Wade never be overturned but that middle schools will be required to provide abortions at the nurse's office and provide "conjugal rooms" for students whose parents are too neanderthal to allow them to have sex with their boyfriends/girlfriends/same sex companions in their own bedrooms at home.

Perhaps Florida's Republicans who believe that character comes first in choosing a president have realized that without a functioning conservative Republican Party that Bill Clinton will become the gold standard for character with future presidents.

I could go on but you get the idea. In order for the Republican Party to survive as a conservative party it must not prove itself willing to sacrifice its conservative principles on the alter of expediency or "electability". To do so condemns the United States to march down the same long road to oblivion which Old Europe is on.
