...only GOP candidate with a comparable ground operation in Florida is Mitt Romney, who also boasts campaign offices and thousands of volunteers across the state. The smaller-dollar campaigns of Mike Huckabee and John McCain are only just now beginning to fly in staff and open offices. If the race remains close, experts say, the early-voting push mastered by Giuliani could prove decisive. "If you have a good organization and you have a multicandidate field," says political scientist Darryl Paulson of the University of South Florida, "it could clearly be the margin of difference in the campaign...
...Many Sides of Mitt Re Joe Klein's "A Tale of Two Romneys": It sounds as if Mitt Romney has us all confused as to who the real Mitt is [Jan. 14].

The towering obstacle between McCain and victory is not so much his rivals for the nomination but the suspicion long held by many Republicans...
...Mitt Romney has a few cards to play on February 5, too. He ought to do well in Utah, Montana and Massachusetts. If he cornered one fourth of California's CDs as well he could add nearly 150 delegates to his tally. (Romney is ahead of the other Republicans in total delegates as things stand now; at the same time, Massachusetts is a proportional primary, meaning he'd likely not get all the delegates...
