Primary Ballot Set

October 31st, 2011 by flanews

Interested in running for president? Well it’s too late to get your name on Florida’s primary ballot. The deadline was 5:00 today. Now the pool of GOP candidates is set and Whitney Ray tells us who many our state political leaders are backing.

Republicans are divided over who to nominate for president. Herman Cain won an Iowa poll over the weekend, besting Mitt Romney by one. But in Florida, some polls give Romney a double digit lead.

After a trip to the state capital in early October, 22 state house members endorsed Romney, going against their Speaker who is supporting Texas Governor Rick Perry.

Governor Rick Scott hasn’t endorsed, but talks often of Perry’s record on jobs. Herman Cain won Florida’s Presidency 5 poll in September and picked up the endorsement of Representative Scott Plakon.

“When I met Herman Cain at P5 what I met was a natural leader. He makes you feel good about the future of the country, makes you believe that you can succeed,” said Plakon.

Monday was the deadline to get on the primary ballot in Florida, so for voters in the sunshine state their choices are set.

Florida votes January 31st, After Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. While the governor and Attorney General are holding out on primary endorsements, Florida’s Agriculture Commissioner and Chief Financial Officer have both endorsed Romney and joined his Florida campaign team.
