GOP Candidates Battle in Florida

The Takeaway

The remaining Republican presidential candidates –  Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum –  will debate in Florida on Thursday evening. A new CNN poll shows the two frontrunners, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, are in a dead heat, with Romney leading Gingrich 36 percent to 34 percent. The primary is less than a week away, and the stakes are high.   The winner-takes-all state has 50 delegates –  more than Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina combined.    Lenny Curry is chairman of the Florida GOP.   Phil Latzman is a reporter for WLRN The Miami Herald News.
