Instead, they will be tramping through the fevered political swamp of Florida, where they will have to contend with issues like Fidel, the Gaza Strip and Medicare, Part B. That's because, now that Senator Robert Dole has spooked his opponents into believing he's invincible on the early New England and Midwestern turf, Florida -- with its Hispanic, Jewish and elderly voting blocs -- is emerging as the must-win primary state...
