Another Rasmussen Swing
Anyone who's been following the primaries on either side of the aisle knows the following: there are a helluva lot of polls out there.

This is nice, in that it's good to have lots of data on these races. But it's not so nice because feverish supporters of one candidate or another need only one to latch onto.

In this case, Romney's supporters can been trumpeting a recent Rasmussen poll showing their man with a whopping 6-point lead in Florida. Boy, that one sure got them worked up.

Of course, I wake up this morning, to see that Rasmussen has it tied:

Rasmussen Reports - January 28th, 2008
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Florida shows McCain and Romney tied at 31%, Giuliani is a distant third at 16% and Huckabee is in fourth place at 11%.

Rasmussen claims this is due to the endorsement of Florida Governor Charlie Crist yesterday.

Have McCain's dual endorsements from Crist and Florida Senator Mel Martinez blunted what appeared to be a significant uptick in the polls for Romney? We'll know in about 36 hours.
