Scott on Decision to Move Primary Date

January 9th, 2012 by Mike Vasilinda

Governor Rick Scott and Legislative leaders took a lot of heat from National GOP leaders and the leadership of other states when they took the dramatic step of moving the presidential preference primary to January 31st. But today, the Governor said the move was the right thing to do and is paying benefits.

Clearly everybody knows that most likely the Republican nominee will be chosen in Florida. You can see the importance now. However many survive out of New Hampshire and South Carolina are going to descend on Florida. So, yeah, absolutely the right thing happened.�

Reporter: Do you plan on endorsing anyone? Have you thought about it anymore?

Oh, yeah, I�ve thought about it. I get calls all the time,� he said. �But I haven�t made a decision yet.�

Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are already on TV in Florida and Ron Paul has billboards going up, while most of the candidates have already started direct mail. Florida will have only half of its allotted delegates because of the early date.
