More groundwork is being laid for Governor Romney in Florida, a state that plays a critical role in the GOP’s presidential election cycle. Today’s news comes from Broward Co:
Mitt Romney campaign starts to take shape in Broward
Several Republican committeemen are forming the nucleus of the Mitt Romney for president campaign in Broward.
Chairman of the effort is David Di Pietro, an attorney with the Conrad & Scherer law firm. (One of those names, Bill Scherer, is a big time national Republican fundraiser.)
Joining Di Pietro as co-chairman is Bob Wolfe, founder and past president of the Lauderdale Beach Republican Club.
Rocky Rodriguez, Broward’s former appointed property appraiser, and Troy R. Samuels, a Miramar city commissioner, are on the executive committee. Rodriguez and Samuels were the co-chairmen of Romney’s 2008 campaign in Broward.
They haven’t yet had an official rollout from the Romney campaign, but they’ve already been meeting, had a table set up Monday night outside the Broward Republican Party’s monthly meeting, and Di Pietro announced the group to party committeemen and committeewomen.

“I think it says a lot about Mitt’s campaign that we’re already organized,” Di Pietro told the Republican Party. “I believe Mitt Romney is the only candidate in our primary who can beat President Obama.”

Romney named Brian Ballard as his Florida Finance Co-Chair on July 13th. Recent polls show Romney is winning among his GOP competitors in The Sunshine State. He also leads Obama there by 46% to 42%.

Yes, that’s what I believe as well.
Jayde another great article….as all are….thanks you for all that you do….posting….
Romney is a must for Pressident. He is a beancounter and won’t take any guff from anybody. I fear the stuffy hollier than thou tea party pundits will do him harm. Because Romney is no one’s man, he is his own. You see what you get and I love it. Let’s take this country back.
TO MR. ROMNEY. SHOUT MORE, POUND YOUR FIST MORE . KEEP A TAN . NOT TOO MUCH GRAY… YOU HAVE A VERY MAD COUNTRY OUT HERE TO TAME. LEAD US.
