ROMNEY MAKES ONE LAST PUSH.

I caught Mitt Romney's final rally this morning as Floridians head to the polls. While he's been ramping up attacks on chief rival John McCain over the past few days, he was sure not to mention him by name today: "Washington is so fundamentally broken. To fix Washington, you can't just send people who have been there for years, and just put them in different chairs," he told the crowd. And later: "One of the candidates running for president said the economy is not his strong suit. Well, it's my strong suit."

At the really I also encountered Mike Freese, pictured above, a voter I interviewed at a McCain event last week. On Friday he was still deciding between Romney, McCain and Giuliani; today he was decked out in Mitt paraphernalia and passing out stickers to people at the door. He says he picked Romney because of McCain's negative campaigning, which is funny, since both candidates have been engaging in plenty of that down here. Mostly though I wonder how he reconciles his support with Romney's chicken-eating method.

Romney likes his chicken "wiz wit".

Say what you will about Governor Huckabee, he's spot on about fried chicken.
