In response to "becuase he's seen as a cultural (or racial) outsider, or because he's seen as being too tied to the political establishment?" by znufrii

He is popular where he is but the rest of the south isn't like Florida (or Texas).

I know that this is difficult for people away from here to understand but a lot of the south wants to stay very white. Florida and Texas are different (as are metropolitan areas like Atlanta and New Orleans) because they have much more immigration.

I think Rubio would do well in Georgia - Strongbad Feb 19, 11:10 3
- He might but it's the same situation I said of Romney. He'll have to get the nomination without carrying most of the south. - David Feb 19, 11:14 2
  - Newt won GA. I don't remember the others. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 19, 11:15 1
    - Mitt won NC, VA, AR, TX, FL, of which only VA and FL were competitive (Romney was already considered to be the likely nominee by the end of April) -- nm - znufrii Feb 19, 11:20
gotcha. -- nm - znufrii Feb 19, 11:08
