Newt is strong if there are enough rednecks around, and Mitt is fine with Hispanics as long as immigration isn't a big issue.

Serious LOL.

* Demographics: Gingrich won several of the same key demographic categories that helped him win SC (e.g., evangelicals and voters who are “very conservative” or are “strong Tea Party supporters”). There just weren’t enough of them in Florida, whose GOP voters are less culturally southern, and less violently conservative ideologically. It also helped Romney, who might have been vulnerable on immigration, that the state’s sizable HIspanic vote (15% of the primary electorate) was dominated by Cuban-Americans and Puerto Ricans who don’t care much about immigration policy.

I think Mitt knew EXACTLY what he was saying. As a candidate, he seems EAGER to run as a successful 1%er, running against the poor, the OWS crowd and for the haters of the victims of (R) economics that make them feel conflicted. That may change when he reaches the general election audience.
