Thousands of voters switched political parties before the rolls closed at the end of the year in preparation of the January 29th Presidential Preference Primary. With the results from Iowa so mixed, and likely to stay that way in the coming weeks as voters in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Michigan pick their favorites, state GOP Chairman Jim Greer told reporters today that Florida will likely end up picking his party?s nominee, even though the national party has taken away half the states delegates.<\/p>\n
