I had from a very reliable source involved in Florida GOP politics that if Romney loses Florida, that Jeb Bush would enter. Now Andrea Mitchell is saying a Romney adviser told her that if there is a loss in Florida, the Establishment will dump Romney.
“I talked to a top Romney adviser tonight who said, ‘Look, if Mitt Romney cannot win in Florida then we’re going to have to try to reinvent the smoke-filled room which has been democratized by all these primaries. And we’re going to have try to come with someone as an alternative to Newt Gingrich who could be Jeb Bush, Mitch Daniels, someone.’ Because there is such a desperation by the so-called party elites, but that’s exactly what Gingrich is playing against,” Andrea Mitchell said on NBC tonight after the debate.
The plot thickens!
