How is the media treating the Florida battle?

How is the media treating the Florida battle?

Consider the following report and how it could affect the election in November, if Romney is the nominee against Obama:

Frontrunner Mitt Romney is getting by far the most negative press of the GOP field, according to a new study of television news coverage by the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University. The study also found that the campaign horse race is getting over six times as much coverage as the candidates’ positions on policy issues.

That last fact alone is not surprising … the ObamaMedia has no interest in covering the policies of the GOP candidates, because their goal is to get their guy, Barack Obama, reelected. To do this, they must focus on the negative bickering between the candidates, rather than the message of the candidates.

When it comes down to it, I want the person who wins Florida today to be person best positioned to defeat Obama in November. As of right now, the polls seem to show that Mitt Romney is that person. In key swing states around the nation, Romney at least splits the vote with Obama. These are states like Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. But quite honestly, to beat Obama, we need better than an even split. If Romney is the nominee, he is going to have to do something big in order to drive voters to the polls in November.
