If Romney wins the nomination we can be sure that millions of FL who would have voted Republican will just sit it out in the General Election and FL communists Democrats will vote King Obama to win the State. Really screwed.

And OMG it's like funeral over there!

Some were blaming Florida for being "51% moderate" and this was why Gingrich "didn't have a chance". Others were citing that whoever wins South Carolina (always) gets the nomination....

The next couple weeks will be interesting. Am thinking they will rationalize that Florida "won't count" because it was "illegitimately early" and thus will be penalized delegates, etc, and it was the only state supposedly "not proportional" in terms of awarding delegates..

Some of them are making similar speeches, but with total seriousness. I found one invoking John Paul Jones, Henry V, and Lord of the Rings. It ended with, as far as I can tell, an impassioned call for interstellar exploration:
